Answer:
897 liters
Step-by-step explanation:
The motor oil is composed of 8 liters of natural oil and 5 liters of synthetic oil. This means there is a ratio of 8/5. We have 552 liters of natural oil to y liters of synthetic. This is the ratio 552/y. Create a proportion that compares the two ratios.
Solve by cross multiplying.
8y = 5(552)
8y = 2,760
y= 345
345 liters of synthetic oil.
Together 552+345= 897 liters of motor oil.
Answer:
65.62
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
After eating a meal at a restaurant, we decided to tip 25%, building a grand total of $87.50.
To find:
Price before tip
Solution:
87.50 × 25% = 21.875
~Round~: 21.875 to 21.88
87.50 - 21 .88 = 65.62
Thus the price before the tip is 65.62
Check Answer:
<em>Formula: Higher number - Lower number ÷ original number × 100</em>
<em>Solve: </em>
<em>87.50 - 65.62 = 21.88</em>
<em>21.88 ÷ 87.50=0.25005714285</em>
<em>0.25005714285 × 100 = 25.0057142857</em>
<em>Round - 25%</em>

Well, if that is a comma in the number, it is already rounded. If the comma is supposed to be a decimal, the answer would be $57.
