Ron must work 9 hours. If he makes 300 every 5 hours, that means he makes 60 every hour. 60x9 = 540
There should be 20 students in Mr. Matthew’s class if 30% likes black licorice.
1. 72 to 50 points
50/72 = 69%
100-69= 31% decrease
2. 14 to 40 books
14 / 40 = 35%
100-35= 65% increase
3. 10 plus 30% increase
10 * 0.3 = 13
16 pieces may be cut. This is because we need to divide 36 by 2 and 1/4 to find how many pieces hat can be cut. First, we need to change everything into a fraction (or improper fraction). 2 and 1/4 = 9/4 (if you need help trying to find out how to get this, just ask). Then, since we are doing division, we flip the 9/4 around to get 4/9. 36 times (it's not dividing anymore since we flipped the 9/4) 4/9 = 16 pieces. I hope this helps! :D
