This is your answer and for the multiplication I gave it to you step by step
X 65%
———— = ———-
90 100
1) multiply across
90 • 65 = 5,850
2) divide what’s left over.
5,850 / 100 = 58.5
What does the rest of the question say??
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
.5 * 30 = 15
First, list all the given information:
*100 miles/week
*25 miles/gallon
*$4/gallon
*weekly expenditure reduced by $5
The easiest approach to use here is the dimensional analysis. Cancel out like units if they appear both in the numerator and denominator side. Solve first the original cost. The solution is as follows:
100 miles/week * 1 gal/25 miles * $4/gal = $16/week
The reduced cost would be:
16 - 5 = (New average miles/week) * 1 gal/25 miles * $4/gal
New average miles/week = 68.75 miles/week
