Answer:
Jim only found 15 of the containers.
Step-by-step explanation:
If his mom hid 875 jelly beans evenly into 25 containers we can easily multiply 25 x 35 = 875, which means there were 35 jelly beans in each container.
Jim only found an amount of 385 jelly beans. To find out how many containers he found, all you have to do is divide 385 by 25 which gives us 15.4.
15.4 rounded to the nearest whole number is 15. So your answer would be that Jim found only 15 out of 25 containers.
Answer: 75% off
Step-by-step explanation:
Your first sweater is the full 100% of the cost. The second it only 50 percent. If you add these to find out how many percent you will pay which is 150 for both. If you were to divide by 2 you get 75 percent off each sweater. The first sweater is $48 the second you multiply by .5 (as its 50 percent off ) and the cost is $24 dollars. 48 plus 24 is 72 then that divided by 2 is 36. Now 36$ is the price per sweater. 36/48 or 3/4 (which is 75%)
Answer:
348 out of 725
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a ratio question, giving us a sample that we can use to extend the number to all students.
12/25 students play a sport so we want the value of x in x/725
So:
12/25 = x/725
Cross-Multiply:
25x = 8700
Divide by 25 to get x:
348
You can also check by dividing these ratios to see if you get the same number. In this case, you do (.48).
