Answer:
There are 10 orange marbles
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 25 marbles in the bag
40% are orange
To determine the number of orange marbles, we multiply the total number of marbles by the percent that are orange
25 *40% = number of orange marbles
25*.40
10
There are 10 orange marbles
The best thing to do is to find what 1% is, and you can do this by dividing 150 by 100.
150/100= 1.5
As you're looking for 6.5%, you've got to multiply 1.5 by 6.5
1.5*6.5= 9.75
You've then got to add 9.75 and 150 together
150+9.75= $159.75
Therefore, after the sales tax, the cost of the necklace is $159.75
Hope this helps :)
