The key word is of. It means multiply. So the equation is set us as
20% of 175 =
20/100 * 175 =
0.2 * 175 = 35

So each of them will contribute 1/5 of that amount.

Tip
Tip = 1/5 * 35
Tip = 0.2 * 35
Tip = 7 dollars each.

20% of $175 is $35. Divided between 5 people (35/5=7) would be 7. So each person should tip $7.

a person runs at a constant speed of 9.2 miles per hour for 6 minutes and 30 seconds. How far did they travel in yards.

ipn [44]

Given:

Speed $= \bold{9.2 \ \frac{miles}{hour}}$

$\therefore \\\\$

1-hour= 60 minutes

1-minutes=60 second

1-hour= 3600 second

Converting the given time into seconds:

Time= 6 minutes and 30 second

$=\bold{6\times 60 \ second + 30 \ second }\\\\=\bold{360\ second+30\ second}\\\\=\bold{390\ second}\\\\$

When 3600 seconds covers=9.2 miles

Then equation:

$=\bold{\frac{9.2}{3600}}\\\\$

390 seconds covers:

$=\bold{\frac{9.2}{3600}\times 390 \ miles} \\\\$

Let

$\bold{1 \ miles= 1760\ yard}\\\\$

Convert the traveling value into yards:

$=\bold{ \frac{9.2}{3600}\times 390\times 1760}\\\\=\bold{ \frac{9.2}{36}\times 39\times 176}\\\\=\bold{ \frac{9.2}{12}\times 13\times 176}\\\\=\bold{ \frac{9.2}{12}\times 2288}\\\\=\bold{ 9.2\times 190.66}\\\\=\bold{ 1754.072\ yards}\\\\$
