The equation is asking how much out of Jada's total budget (1545) is spent on electricity a month (47.20).
write this as a fraction 47.20/1545
type into calculator and you get .03055
multiply that by 100 to get it as a percent. you get 3.055%
now round that to the nearest tenth and you get 3.1%
answer 3.1%
15.
0.20*x = 0.01*x + 38 => 0.19*x = 38 =>( 19/100 )*x = 38 => x = 3800/19 => x = 200.
The gcf of both 6 and 48 is 6. So, in simplest form, the ration would be: 1:6 or 1 hour:6 minutes :)
