0.22% shrinkage as a percent of sales.

To calculate shrinkage you subtract the physical inventory value from the book value.

245,000-237,000 = 800

The shrinkage was $800. To find the shrinkage as a percent of sales take the shrinkage value and divide it by the sales value to get shrinkage as a percentage of sales.

800 / 360,000 = 0.0022....

Multiply Decimal by 100 to get the percentage

100 * 0.0022.... = 0.22%

Is 3/2 greater than 1? Or Less than
Simora [160]

Answer:

3/2 is greater than 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A little trick to immediately know if a number is more or less than when it involves fractions versus whole numbers is that improper fractions will always be greater than 1.

If you want to confirm this, dividing 3/2 equals 1.5, ergo 1.5 > 1.

In essence, improper fractions will always represent a number greater than one contrasted to proper fractions because if you put it on a perspective (let's say you have 13 pie slices but you only needed 12, that means there is a pie slice that's extra that makes it greater than the original pie slices).

Hope that helps :)

Would the -5 go to the left or the right on the number scale?
jeyben [28]

The number -5 would go to the left of a number scale. Typically because all negatives move to the left of zero on the number scale.

Rick is on a bicycle trip. Every 444 days he bikes 230 \text{ km}230 km230, space, k, m.If Rick keeps this same pace for 161616
Katarina [22]
For this problem, we use the approach of ratio and proportion. Assuming that the given ratio of 444 days per 230 km is constant all throughout, we can determine the number of days or distance as long as one of the two is given. In this case, the solution is as follows:

444 days/230 km = 161616 days/distance
Distance = 83,720 km
