Answer:

76%

Step-by-step explanation:

So basically 528 represents a full circle and the amount in the circle is 2:5 to that in the stalls.

So you divide 528 by 2 and then multiply it by 5 to get a full stall of 1320

you then add 1320 and 528 to get a full theater of 1848

to get 2/3 of seats in the stall you divide 1320 by 3 and then multiply it by 2 to get 880.

For 2/3 of the stall and a full circle you add 880 and 528 to get 1408.

You divide the amount of people in the theater on Friday by the total amount of people which the theater can hold so 1408 divided by 1848 and you get the percentage of 76%

Brita has a monthly budget of x dollars. She spends $1,425 on her mortgage every month. One-third of her remaining budget is spe
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

$(x - 1425)/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total monthly budget be x

Amount spent on mortgage = $1425

Remaining balance after spending on mortgage = x - $1425

Amount spent on recreational activities = one-third of the balance

Expressing amount spent on recreational activities as an equation will give;

Amount spent on recreational activities = 1/3 of x - $1425

= 1/3 × ( x - $1425)

= ( x - $1425)/3

Hence the required equation is;

R = $(x - 1425)/3

R means recreational activities

Simplify the complex fraction. 8/5 divide by 6 3/4 *
hichkok12 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{8}{5}÷6\frac{3}{4}

First, simplify the 6\frac{3}{4} to an improper fraction, which is:

\frac{27}{4}

Next rewrite the equation using the improper fraction:

\frac{8}{5}÷\frac{27}{4}

Now, in order to divide the fraction, we will need to flip the second fraction over, and then multiply the two fractions together. A great way to remember this is the phrase <em>Copy Dot Flip - </em>Copy the first fraction, put a dot for multiplication, and flip the second fraction.

\frac{8}{5}·\frac{4}{27}

Finally, multiply together and simplify/reduce if needed:

<u>The final answer is </u>\frac{32}{135}<u> and no simplification or reduction is needed</u>
