A fraction is a number divided by another. in this case, 0.555 is 555/1000. in simpler terms, 555/1000 is 111/200.
60% of what equals 27? This is the question. "Of" always means multiply.
So... convert the percent to a decimal: .6x=27.
Divide: x=27/.6
x=45
Plug it back in to check: .6(45)=27
27=27.
Or: 27/45=.6
.6=.6
Well to make it easy pick 3 prime numbers. In this case I'll use 3, 11, and 13. Multiply all 3 together to get 429. For the second part, pick a prime number and multiply it by 3, in this case 3, which when multiplied by 3 equals 9. Multiply that by a prime number squared, like 11 which is 121. Then multiply by 13. 3x3x3x11x11x13 = 42471 THE CREDIT GOES TO ICEDRAPTOR
Erika $21
3k of cinnamon

Irene $39
3k of cinnamon
3k of gummies
c= cost of 1 kilogram of cinnamon
g= cost of 1 kilogram of gummies
Erika's Equation
3c + 1g= $21
Irene's Equation
3c + 3g= $39
Solve for one variable in equation one and substitute it in the other equation.
3c + 1g= 21
subtract 3c from both sides
g= 21 - 3c
Substitute g=21 - 3c in equation
3c + 3g= $39
3c + 3 (21 - 3c)= 39
multiply all in parentheses
3c + 63 - 9c= 39
63 - 6c= 39
subtract 63 from both sides
-6c= -24
c= $4
Substitute c=4 in equation to find g
3c + g= 21
3(4) + g= 21
12 + g= 21
subtract 12 from both sides
g= $9
