The following is a type of proportion ==> a : b = c : d; and in this case we have:
1 : 12 = 8 : 96
<span>It's not all that hard, all you need to know is the ''cross-multiplication'' methods for testing this kind of stuff.
</span>
1 : 12 = 8 : 96 ?
<span>1 * 96 = 12 * 8 ? </span>
<span>96 = 96 ? </span>
<span>96 = 96 ==> CORRECT </span>

1/12 = 8/96
cross multiply
(1)(96) = (8)(12)
96 = 96

yes, this is a true proportion...keep in mind, proportions are nothing but equivalent fractions

Sally went to the clearance rack at a department store and found a shirt she wanted to buy. The shirt was $36.00 and is on sale

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

33.34%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The actual price of the shirt = $36

Price on sale = $24

We need to find the percent of the decrease. The formula for the percentage is given by :

$\%=\dfrac{|\text{actual value-estimated value}|}{\text{actual value}}\times 100$

Putting all the values,

$\%=\dfrac{24-36}{36}\times 100\\\\=33.34\%$

So, the percentage decrease in the price of the shirt is 33.34%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction of the cookies that are chocolate chip can be determined by solving this equation

1 - ( $\frac{4}{12}$ - $\frac{1}{5}$ )

1 - $\frac{20 - 12}{60}$

1 - $\frac{8}{60}$

$\frac{60}{60}$ - $\frac{8}{60}$ = $\frac{52}{60}$ = 13/15
