Answer:
14) false
15) false
Step-by-step explanation:
14) 120% of a positive whole number is always greater than the number. If the number is 1, 120% of it would give us 1.2 which is greater than 1. However if the number is a negative whole number, 120% of it would give us a smaller number. Let's try -1. 120% of -1 would give us -1.2, which is smaller than -1. Hence the statement is false.
15) 0.5% of a number is 0.5/100 of the number so we should multiply the number by 5/1000. 5/100 is only 5% of the number. Hence the statement is also false.
Answer:
Well, how many were left over? Mrs. Adams has a muffin factory and made 1 million muffins. Carl ate 2/5 or 40% or 400,000 muffins, and John ate 25. 599,975 muffins were shipped for sale. That meets the stated requirements.
Hence, we have to guess there were supposed to be no muffins left over.
In that case, Mrs. Adams baked 125/3 muffins, Carl ate 2/5 of them = 50/3, leaving 75/3 = 25 for John.
Step-by-step explanation:
x muffins baked, 2/5 eaten by Carl, 3/5 left to be eaten by John, who ate 25 before running out.
3/5 x = 25
x = 25 × 5/3 = 125/3 = 41 + 2/3
Or, Start with x muffins. Carl ate 2/5 x, leaving 3/5 x. John ate 25 with zero left over. So 3/5 x = 25.
(x - 2/5 x) - 25 = 0
3/5 x = 25
x = (5/3) × 25 = 125/3.
