Step 1:
Add rent & car payments
=11,250+1422
=$12,672
Step 2:
to determine %, set up a proportion
12,672 is to his total of 39,600 as x is to 100
12,672/39,600 = x/100
cross multiply
(12,672)(100) = (39,600)(x)
1,267,200= 39,600x
divide both sides by 39,600
32%= x
OR
Alternative Step 2:
12,672 ÷ 39,600= 0.32
Alternative Step 3:
0.32 x 100 = 32%
or move decimal to the right 2 places
His rent and car payments are 32% of his earnings.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
It travels 1/5 mile in one second
Step-by-step explanation:
1/10 * 2 = 2/10 = 1/5
Since the bolt of lightning travels 1/10 mile in half a second, then to find how much it travels in one a second you simply multiply 1/10 by 2, which equals 2/10, which can be simplified to 1/5.
I think it’s a mixed decimal because it’s a number consisting of a integer plus a behind the decimal formation.
Hopefully this is correct and helpful
The correct answer is 1/24
