Answer: $25,500

Step-by-step explanation:

15/100 = 4500/x , we use this proportion to find out how much the entore book deal was.  When you multiply 4500 x 100 and divide by 15, it gives you an answer of 30,000.  30,000 is the value of the book deal.  The agent gets 15% but the entire deal would be worth 100%.  We subtract 15% from 100% to get 85%.  85% is what the author will receive.  85% of 30,000 is $25,500. We find the answer by multiplying 30,000 by 0.15. 0.15 is the decimal equivalent of 15.

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

213.333 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

A small office purchases bottled drinking water. The water comes in containers that hold 5 gallons. Two-thirds of the office container was drained last week to put out a fire in the wastebasket.

a. How much water (in ounces) is left in the container?

b. How many 12-ounce glasses can be filled with the water that remains in the container

Container = 5 gallons

Two-thirds was drained last week to put out a fire in the wastebasket

That is 2/3 of 5

= 2/3 × 5

= 10 / 3 gallons

Water left in the container = 5 - 10/3

= 15-10/3

= 5/3 gallons

Convert 5/3 gallons to ounces

5/3 gallons = 213.333 ounces

B. Number of 12 ounces glass that can be filled from the water left in the container = 213.333 ounces / 12

= 17.77775

Approximately 18
