Answer:
27/14
Step-by-step explanation:
you can cross multiply and simplify before you start. that way it makes it a lot easier
So you have 318/2580 (since the top is the amount of money they use for food and the bottom is the total). You will want to divide it into 2 so 318/2 and 2580/2. Then you will get 159/1290. The divide 159/1290 with 3. So you will get 52/430. It may seem that you will need to divide 430 with 52 now. Once you get that, you will get the decimal 0.123255814. (I used a calculator). Then Move the decimal twice to the right to make that whole percentage. You will get 12 as you whole number (Ignoring the fact you have 3255814 as your remaining.). So the answer for that is….
12%!!
Hi there!
The correct answer is C) The administrator's calculation is not reasonable because my estimate of 500 is not close to 408. Let's use rounding to find our estimate. 423 is close to 400 and 931 is close to 900. If we subtract 400 from 900, we know that there was approximately 500 adults. Since 408 is not near 500, the administrator's calculation is not reasonable. In fact, they were 100 off from the correct calculation, also making it not reasonable.
Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!
