To solve this problem, we must divide the number of movies that Jenny thought were very good by the total number of movies she watched. This is because we are finding a percentage, which represents a part out of a whole that have a factor, which in this case is very good movies. First, we begin by dividing 44/55. Then, we realize that both the numerator and the denominator are divisible by 11, so if we divided them both by 11 that would simplify the fraction.

44/55 = 44/11 / 55/11 = 4/5

Next, we can now easily divide our simplified fraction.

4/5 = 0.8

Finally, we must multiply by 100, because a percentage is a portion of 100 (the total is 100%). This is equivalent to moving the decimal point two places to the right.

0.8 * 100 = 80%

Therefore, Jenny thinks that 80% of the movies she watched this year were very good.

Hope this helps!

The amount of sales tax on a new car is directly proportional to the purchase price of the car. Victor bought a new car for $30,
Airida [17]

Answer:

Rita paid 47,500 dollars for the purchase price.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the sales tax on a new car is directly proportional to the purchase price of the car which means there is is something k such that

when you multiply it to the sales tax you get the purchase price.

Let's set this equation:

y=kx

Let y represent the purchase price and x the sales tax.

The second sentence tells us that (x,y)=(1500,30000).

We can plug this into y=kx to find the constant k.  (Constant means it stays the same no matter what the input and output is).

So we have:

30000=k(1500)

300    =k(15)      I went ahead and divided previous equation by 100.

Now divide both sides by 15:

300/15=k

Simplify:

20=k

So the equation to use the answer the question is

y=20x

where y is purchase price and x is sales tax.

So we want to know the purchase price on a car if the sales tax is 2375.

So replace x with 2375:

y=20(2375)

y=47500
