-- The amount of the decrease is ($120 - $96) = $24

-- As a decimal of the original price, the amount is

                     $24 / $120 = 0.20  of the original price .

-- To turn any decimal into a percentage,
move the decimal point two places that way  ===> .

                                             0.20  =  20 %

The price was decreased by 20% of the original price.

Ginny’s favorite cookie recipe requires 1 1/2 cups of sugar to make 24 cookies. How much sugar does Ginny need to make 36 of the
Delicious77 [7]

Ginny needs 2\frac{1}{4} cups of sugar to make 36 cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Sugar cups required for 24 cookies = 1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}\ cups

Ratio of sugar cups to cookies = \frac{3}{2}:24

Let,

x be the number of cups needed for 36 cookies.

Ratio of sugar cups to cookies = x:36\\

Using proportion;

Ratio of sugar cups to cookies :: Ratio of sugar cups to cookies

\frac{3}{2}:24::x:36

Product of mean = Product of extreme

24*x=\frac{3}{2}*36\\24x=54

Dividing both sides by 24

\frac{24x}{24}=\frac{54}{24}\\x=\frac{9}{4}\\x=2\frac{1}{4}

Ginny needs 2\frac{1}{4} cups of sugar to make 36 cookies.

A bag has 9 marbles: 4 are green, 2 are red, and 3 are blue. Melissa chooses a marble at random, and without putting it back, ch
nika2105 [10]

Answer: pr (blue) = 1/3 or 0.33

Pr(green without replacement) = 1/2 = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = number of possible outcomes/ number of total outcomes

Total number of outcomes is the sum of all the marbles, given as 9

Pr ( first marble blue) = no of blue marbles/ total number of marbles

= 3/9 = 1/3 or 0.333

Second marble is chosen without replacement- this means that the total outcome has reduced by 1, total number of marbles has reduced to 8 because there was no replacement.

Pr (second marble is green) = number of green marble/ total number of marbles without replacing the first marble

= 4/8 = 1/2 = 0.5

I hope this helps.
