Okay.
40/100 students are girls.
20% of those 40 girls wear glasses.
So that's 20/40.
20/100
Answer:
112/200
Step-by-step explanation:
To find an equivalent fraction with a new denominator you can simply multiply by 1. However, you must multiply by different forms of 1. Remember that any number divided by itself is equal to 1. Additionally, because of the identity property of multiplication, any number multiplied by 1 is still equivalent.
In this case, you should multiply by a fraction that will make 25=200. To get 200 from 25 you must multiply by 8. So, multiply the whole fraction by 8/8. This gives you (14/25)*(8/8)=112/200.
Let his total money be x.
He spent (3/7)*x of his money.
He gave 1/4(x-3/7x) to his sister.
which is : (1/4)*(4/7)*x = (1/7)*x
Now,
How much money he have in the beginning =
(3/7)*x+(1/7)*x+120=x
(4/7)*x+120=x
120=x-(4/7)*x
120=(3/7)*x
x=120*7/3 [cross multiplication]
x=280.
So, Alex had $280 in the beginning.
