To convert from decimal to percent, just multiply the decimal value by 100. In this example we have: 1.27 × 100 = 127% (answer)
Let us assume that the number of beige tiles bought by Susan = B
Number of red tiles bought by Susan = R
Number of navy-blue tiles bought by Susan =N
Number of tiles bought altogether = 435
Now from the given question we know:
Number of red tiles bought is 25 more than the number of beige tiles.
So
R = 25 + B
Number of navy blue tiles bought is 3 times that of the number of beige tile bought
So
N = 3B
We already know that the total number of tiles bought is 435
Hence
B + R + N = 435
B + (25 + B) + 3B = 435
5B + 25 = 435
5B = 435 -25
5B = 410
B = 82
R = 25 + B
= 25 + 82
= 107
N = 3B
= 3 * 82
= 246
So the number of Beige tiles bought by Susan = 82
The number of red tiles bought by Susan = 107
The number of navy-blue tiles bought by Susan = 246
