Whatever% of anything, is just (whatever/100) * anything.
the syrup is going to be 5lbs total, that includes the sugar in it as well as the water mix.
keeping in mind that the syrup will be a 1.5% syrup, namely 1.5% of it will be sugar, the rest just water then, how much is 1.5% of 5?
well, is just(1.5/100) * 5 or 0.075, namely lbs.
so, 0.075 lbs will be sugar and the rest water, the rest will be 5 - 0.075, or 4.925 lbs.
Since they are similar both dimensions would have the same ratio. The ratio of 5 and 15 is 3. 15 is 3 times larger than 5, so the unknown dimension is 3 times larger than the known dimension.
3 x 10 = 30
The unknown dimension is 30
yes sure, i learned this before so
1. a. make a proportion here, of percentage. 
if you cross multiply and divide you get 90%.
1. b. obviously the empty seats would be 10%.
2. a. proportion again, 
cross multiply then divide you ge 15%
3. 30% in decimal form is 0.3. multiply it then to the total amount, so 0.3 x 15 = 4.5
1. BC/CD = AC/CE 1. Given
2. <BCA is congruent to <ECD 2. Vertical angles are congruent
3. Tr.ACB is congr to Tr.ECD 3. SAS Similarity
