\frac{12}{15}\\\\divide\ a\ numerator\ and\ a\ denominator\ by\ 3\\\\12:3=4;\ 15:3=5\\\\therefore\ \frac{12}{15}=\frac{4}{5}\\\\multiply\ a\ numerator\ and\ a\ denominator\ by\ 2\\\\4\cdot\ 2=8;\ 5\cdot2=10\\\\therefore\ \frac{12}{15}=\frac{4}{5}=\frac{8}{10}=\boxed{0.8}\Rightarrow0.8\cdot100\%=\boxed{80\%}



\frac{68}{80}\\\\divide\ a\ numerator\ and\ a\ denominator\ by\ 4\\\\68:4=17;\ 80:4=20\\\\therefore\ \frac{68}{80}=\frac{17}{20}\\\\multiply\ a\ numerator\ and\ a\ denominator\ by\ 5\\\\17\cdot\ 5=85;\ 20\cdot5=100\\\\therefore\ \frac{68}{80}=\frac{17}{20}=\frac{85}{100}=\boxed{0.85}\Rightarrow0.85\cdot100\%=\boxed{85\%}

\frac{\big{12}}{\big{15}}= \frac{\big{3\cdot4}}{\big{3\cdot5}}= \frac{\big{4}}{\big{5}}= \frac{\big{4\cdot2}}{\big{5\cdot2}}= \frac{\big{8}}{\big{10}}=0.8 \\\\1\%\ \ \rightarrow\ \ 0.01\ \ \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ \ \ 10\%\ \ \rightarrow\ \ 0.01\cdot10=0.1\\\\0.8=8\cdot0.1 \ \rightarrow\ \ 8\cdot10\%=80\%\\\\--------------------\\\\

\frac{\big{68}}{\big{80}}=\frac{\big{4\cdot17}}{\big{4\cdot20}}=\frac{\big{17}}{\big{20}}=\frac{\big{17\cdot5}}{\big{20\cdot5}}=\frac{\big{85}}{\big{100}}=0.85\\\\0.85=0.8+0.05=8\cdot0.1+5\cdot0.01\\\\0.85\ \ \rightarrow\ \ 8\cdot10\%+5\cdot5\%=80\%+5\%=85\%

NEED HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no of cars be x and no of buses be y.

x + y = 60 -> y = 60 - x

6x + 30y = 600

with the available equations let us calculate the values of x and y.

6x + 30 * (60-x) = 600

6x + 1800 - 30x = 600

24x = 1200

x cars = 50

y buses = 10

maximum profit = 50 * 2.5 + 10 * 7.5 = $200

e-lub [12.9K]

<u>Answer </u>

Option A) 17cm

<u>Explanation </u>

Polygon R and polygon S are similar. This means the polygon R and S have equal number of sides.

Step 1 : Find the number of sides of polygon S

The perimeter of polygon S is 64 cm. If one side of polygon S is 8 cm

Therefore, Number of sides of polygon S = 64/8 = 8 sides

and number of sides of polygon R = 8 side

Step 2 : Find the number of sides of polygon R

The perimeter of polygon R is 136 cm,  

Number of sides of polygon R = 136/8 = 17 cm

Therefore side length of  polygon R = 17 cm
