Given;
120 deer tagged
800 deer caught
16 out of 800 deer caught have tags

This is a proportion problem

a/b = c/d where ac = bd

16/800 = 120/d
16d = 800*120
16d = 96,000
d = 96,000 / 16
d = 6,000

The estimate number of deer in North Carolina is D. 6,000

A sofa is on sale for $219, which is 27% less than the regular price.<br> What is the regular price?
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

$300 was the regular price of the sofa.

Step-by-step explanation:

If $219 is 27% less than the regular price, then it represents 73% of the regular price.

Regular price = r.

r/1 x 73/100 = $219. Reverse this to find that $219/1 divided by 73/100 = r.

To divide fractions, reverse the second fraction and MULTIPLY:

$219/1 x 100/73 = 21900/73 = 300.

Mike has 12 red marbles. He has twice as many blue marbles as red marbles and 3 times as many yellow marbles as red marbles. San
Mariulka [41]
Ok well, first of all, you must do 12 x 2 because if Mike has twice as many of red marbles, (12 red) then you must multiply that by 2. So 12 x 2 is 24! Then Mike has 3 times as many of yellow marbles, so you do 24 x 3, which is 72! So the answer is A, Sandy is correct. Hope this helps! :)
