The answer is:  " 3:5" ; or, write as:  "3/5<span>" .
</span>___________________________________________________
Explanation:
___________________________________________________
  "60%" =  60/100  = 60 ÷ 100" ;  so take:  "60" ; and move the decimal back
TWO (2) places (since "100" has "two zeros" ; and since we are DIVIDING) ;

Note: Since we are "dividing"; we move the decimal BACK (to the LEFT). 

→ that is:  treat "60" as: "60." ;  and move the "implied decimal" back two spaces;   to get:  "0.60"  ;  which simplies to:  "0.6" ; 

→ 0.6 = 6/10 ; which reduces:  "6/10 = (6÷2)/(10÷2) = 3/5 ; or, write as:  "3:5".
_______________________________________________________
Other methods:
________________________________________________________
 "60%" =  60/100 ;  cancel out 'one zero' from both the numerator and the denominator; which is the same as:  "60/100 = (60÷10)/(100÷10) = 6/10 ;  Then reduce to:  "3/5"; or write as: "3:5" ; as explained above.
________________________________________________________
Other method:  Use calculator:  "60%" to get: "0.6" and write as "6/10" and—as aforementioned— reduce to: "3/5" (unless your calculator does not automatically include this fraction mode as well); and write the answer as:  "3/5" ; or "3:5" .

    → Alternately, using a calculator:  "60 ÷ 100" ;  and follow through using the directly aforementioned method—as well as the aforementioned methods, if needed; to ultimately get: "0.6" —which equals: "6/10"—and ultimately get:                   "3/5" ; or, write as:  "3:5" .

Hope this explanation, albeit lengthy, is helpful

Which set is a function?
Sonja [21]
B, short explanation remember the sets are set up like (x,y) in a set there should be no matching x points so if it matches it's not a function :)

long explanation: these are (x,y) sets {(0,3), (3,0), (0,4), (4,0)} the first choice shows that there are two X solutions <span>if they are equal to 0 (0,3) (0,4) so this cant be a function.

second choice</span><span> {(0,2), (2,0), (4,6), (6,4)} does not have two X solutions so this is a function
third choice</span>{(2,6), (3,6), (4,6), (2,0)} has two X solutions if x is equal to 2
and the last choice <span>{(6,2), (2,0), (4,6), (6,4)} has two X solutions if x is equal to 6
hope i helped! if i did please give me brainlest :)

If 15% of an item is $18.00 what was the original price?
larisa [96]
<span>from the whole price,
15% of this price is equal to $18.00.
therefore if 15 % equals $18.00
                                                                     
then 100% is the original price therefore 100 % = 18.00 / 15 % x 100% = $120 therefore original price = $120</span>
