600,000 1/10 of what? Please help!!

1 answer:

8 0

600000 is 1/10 of "x", that means x = 10/10 or a whole, what is "x"?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
amount&fraction\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
600000&\frac{1}{10}\\\\
x&\frac{10}{10}
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{600000}{x}=\cfrac{\frac{1}{10}}{\frac{10}{10}}\implies \cfrac{600000}{x}=\cfrac{1}{10}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{600000\cdot 10}{1}=x$

inysia [295]

Answer:

The correct answer is £449.20 rounded upto 2 DP.

Step-by-step explanation:

Brian pays £465.98 a year on his car insurance.

The insurance company reduces the price by 3.6%.

The amount reduced by the insurance company is 3.6% of 465.98 = £16.77528.

Price the insurance company charges now is given by subtracting the previous cost with the reduction amount.

Thus the insurance cost now = £ (465.98 - 16.77528) = £449.20472 ≈ £449.20.

Thus the reduced insurance cost Brian has to pay now is £449.20 rounded to 2DP.
