852 students walking to school
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets start with a simple example so you can get it
if 60% of 100 students walk to school that means
60 students walk to school... right??
so lets simplify it more that means you have multiplied 100 (students) by 60%
or
(note: you can say that 60% is equal to
)
so the problem told 60% of 1420 students walk to school that means we should
do this: 
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The simple interest formula is equal to
where
A is the Final Investment Value
P is the Principal amount of money to be invested
r is the rate of interest
t is Number of Time Periods
step 1
Find the rate of interest
in this problem we have
substitute in the formula above and solve for r
The rate of interest is 
step 2
Find the sum of money that will amount to 25,500 in 5 years, at the same rate of interest
in this part we have
substitute in the formula above and solve for P

Answer: 98%</h3>
==================================================
Explanation:
The customer saves 15%, but still pays the remaining 85%. The two percentages add to 100%.
85% of $900 = 0.85*900 = 765
After the 15% discount is applied, the customer would pay $765
---------
Then after the sale, the price is marked up by 15%
This means we'll multiply by 1.15 to indicate a 15% increase
1.15*765 = 879.75
Notice that we don't get back to the original price (900) even though we increased by the same percentage as before. This is because 15% of a smaller number is a smaller amount; ie we have a smaller increase compared to the decrease earlier.
---------
Afterwards, divide the value 879.75 over the original price of $900
879.75/900 = 0.9775
Move the decimal point two spots to the right to end up with 97.75%
That percentage rounds to 98% when rounding to the nearest whole percent.
