You can say : 15% ⇒ ? if 100% ⇒ 32.50 $
so next you can say : 15/100 = ?/32.50 ⇒ ? = (15/100) × 32.50 = 15 × 32.50 ÷ 100 = 4.875 ⇒ so the answer is 4.785 $ ;D i hope this will be helpful :))

Isabelle ordered 3 flower arrangements to send to her sisters. Each arrangement, weighs 6 2/3 pounds. What was the total weight

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer: 20 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the weight of each flower arrangement (each one weighs 6 2/3 pounds) and the total number of flower arrangaments Isabelle ordered (3 flower arrangements).

To make the calculus easier, we can rewrite the mixed number 6 2/3 as a decimal number:

Divide the numerator 2 by the denominator 3 and add the result to the whole number 6:

$(6+0.666)lb=6.666lb$

If 1 arrangement weighs 6.666 pounds, the total weigth of 3 arrangements can be calculated by multiplying 6.666 pounds by 3:

$weight_{(total)}=(6.666lb)(3)\\weight_{(total)}=20lb$

A pair of $195 boots are discounted 40% If the boots are reduced in price by an additional 66 2/3% what will the discount price

UNO [17]

First, find the 40% discount.
40% of 195 is 78
195 x 0.40 = 78
Subtract that from 195
195 - 78 = 117
Now, find 66 2/3% of 117, since it is an additional reduction after the original discount.
2/3 = 0.667, so 66 2/3% is 66.667%
117 x 0.66667 = 78.00039
And subtract that from 117
117 - 78.00039 = 38.99961, which in dollars would be $38.99. (hundredths, etc. of a cent are usually just dropped; no rounding involved.)
The discount price would then be $38.99
