Answer:
To find part A you need to find common denominator.
1/3 + 3/5=
5/15 + 9/15= 14/15
His mistake for a is that he didn't find the common denominator and that he just added the fraction as it is. So the corrected version would be 14/15.
To find part B you also need to find the least common denominator.
11/12-5/6=
11/12-10/12=1/12
His mistake was that he didn't find the least common denominator and he subtracted the fraction as it is. The answer corrected would be 1/12.
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply total students by the percentage:
600 x 80% = 600 x 0.80 = 480
480 students want more field trips.
Hi there! I can help you with these! For these types of questions, all you have to do is that if there is a markup, multiply by one hundred something to get the new price, because you're including the original price and the markup. For example, if there is a 75% markup on something, you multiply by 175% (1.75). Or, if there is a markdown, basically multiply by the remaining percentage. For example, if the markdown is 35%, you multiply the original price by 65% (0.65), because that is the amount of the price that it's on sale for. With that being said, if you do this correctly, here are the answers:
1. $54
2. $2.25
3. $90
Hopefully if you're talking about the markup or markdown from these prices, those are your answers.
