Answer:

3000 students

Step-by-step explanation:

If 48% of the students are female, and there are 1440 female students, we can set up a percentage proportion, assuming x is the total amount of students.

\frac{1440}{x} = \frac{48}{100}

We can use the cross products property to find the value of x.

1440\cdot100=144000\\\\144000\div48=3000

Hope this helped!

If it was 25%, it would be a 90 degree angle. So we can calculate this using a proportion. 25/90 = 24/x. Cross multiply to get 25x = 2160. When you divide by 25 on both sides you get 86.4. So the angle should be 86 degrees. Hope this helps.

Sara receives a 9% commission on every car she sells. The car dealership paid $20,000 for a car from an auction. The next day th
Paladinen [302]

Hey there! Your answer to this problem is 2160..

Explanantion:

Since every car Sara sells, she gets 9% of the commission, this means that at the last few step, we would have to give 9% of the total cost to Sara.

If 100% is 20,000, then 50% would be 10,000. But we have to find the cost of 20%. So what we would actually be doing is multiplying 20 with 0.01. 20x0.01 is 0.2 or 0.20.

Then you add the 4,000 to the 20,000 because it states, “the next day, they sold the car 20% more than they paid. This means that you’ll have to add it. 20,000 plus 4000 would be 24,000. So 24,000 would be the cost of the car they sold.

However they didn’t wanna know the cost of the car, they wanted to know how much Sara would get. So you would have to take 9% of the cost of the cost which would be 2,160.

Final result: $2,160
