<span>c) Lucy collected $223.86 selling necklaces at a craft fair. How many necklaces did Lucy sell? How much profit did she earn? </span>223.86/15.99=14 necklaces. 14(7.04)=$98.56 of profit.
100% is equal to $16 so 5% would be 16/20 or $0.80 then to get 15% you would multiply $0.80 by 3 which is $2.40. This is the tip. Then do $16 + $2.40 and the total + tip is $18.40. (Double check to make sure I'm correct)
Repetition is a guaranteed way to learn something. If it is a formula you need to learn, try doing flashcards and reading it over and over again until you can spell it without the flahcard. If it is something like factoring, just do a bunch of factoring problems until you get the feel of it.
