1165 divided by 255 = 5.17 = 5 costumes
Since the probability of the coin landing leads is 1/2, simply cube 1/2 to arrive at your answer: 1/8.
You cube 1/2 because you must land heads three times in a row and each flip is independent from other flips.
Simply put,
If you find a common denominator between 12 and 16, and multiply them to fit,
You should end up with a proportion giving you the correct answer. Whichever is lower is the better deal
Ex: a box of cereal from target costs $2
Two box deal from Costco costs $5
Which is cheaper for the money.
Assuming they are the same size, all you have to do is take the dollar amount from the one from target and multiply it by two, giving you the cost of two boxes.

Percentage = ( number used / total number) x 100
32/90 = 0.3555
0.3555 x 100 = 35.56%
Rounded to nearest tenth = 35.6%
