17 pieces. She had two and she had to have 15 to give to the children. If each child got 3 and there is 5. This turns into 3*5=15. Then you would add 15+2 to get 17
Answer:
D) 5/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose there are 30 girls at the school. Then the proportions tell you that 12 of them study music, and 5 of them study both music and dance.
Then 5 of the 12 girls who study music also study dance. That fraction is 5/12.
_____
We chose 30 because it is the least common multiple of the denominators of the fractions (2/5, 3/5, 1/6) in the problem statement.
Of course, you know that 2/5·30 = 12, and 1/6·30 = 5.
Profit = 8%
If the briefcase was marked down 20% from 1500 you multiply 1500 x .2 = 300 in order to calculate the discount.
Calculate the discounted price:
1500 - 300 = 1200
Calculate 10% discount of 1200:
1200 x .1 = 120
Calculate the sales price:
1200 - 120 = 1080
The last step is to calculate the profit/loss is the cost is 1000.
The briefcase sold for 1080 and the company paid 1000 for it, so there was a profit of 80.
The percentage is calculate by dividing 80/1000 = 8% profit
I think your answer is 90
