Picture 1: The amount of tax for Veena's meal is $1.02
Picture 2: Christian reads
books per week.
Picture 3: 80% is equal to
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Picture 1: Veena ate lunch at a deli. She ordered turkey sandwich for $9.25 and a salad for $4.35. The tax was 7.5%. What is the amount of tax for Veena's meal.
Given,
Price of turkey sandwich = $9.25
Price of salad = $4.35
Total amount = 9.25+4.35 = $13.60
Tax = 7.5%
Amount of tax = 7.5% of total cost
Amount of tax = ![\frac{7.5}{100}*13.60](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B7.5%7D%7B100%7D%2A13.60)
Amount of tax = ![\frac{102}{100} = \$1.02](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B102%7D%7B100%7D%20%3D%20%5C%241.02)
The amount of tax for Veena's meal is $1.02
Picture 2: Christian reads 1/4 book every 2/3 week. How many books does Christian read per week?
Given,
Books read every 2/3 weeks = 1/4 books
![\frac{2}{3}\ weeks=\frac{1}{4}\ books\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B3%7D%5C%20weeks%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%5C%20books%5C%5C)
For determining the number of books read per week, we will multiply both sides by ![\frac{3}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D)
![\frac{3}{2}*\frac{2}{3}\ week=\frac{1}{4}*\frac{3}{2}\ books\\\\1\ week = \frac{3}{8}\ books\\\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D%2A%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B3%7D%5C%20week%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%2A%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D%5C%20books%5C%5C%5C%5C1%5C%20week%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B8%7D%5C%20books%5C%5C%5C%5C)
Christian reads
books per week.
Picture 3: What percent is equivalent to
?
We will multiply the given fraction with hundred for calculating the percentage.
![\frac{4}{5}*100\\\\\frac{400}{5}\\\\80\%](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B5%7D%2A100%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cfrac%7B400%7D%7B5%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C80%5C%25)
Therefore,
80% is equal to
