Our trick here is to think that a fraction in %
land is the same as the correspondent in "number" land; so we can write:
100%
90%
= 120x
Where X is the correspondent of 90% in numbers.
Rearranging: x = 120⋅
90% 100% =108
Answer:
%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Jocelyn calculates that see will take 105 minutes to run 7 miles. She runs the distance in 84 minutes.
To find: Jillian’s percent error
Solution:
Actual time taken by Jocelyn to run 7 miles = 84 minutes
Approximate time taken by Jocelyn to run 7 miles = 105 minutes
Error = 
minutes
Percent error = error/(Actual time taken) × (100) = 
13 because 40 and 25 would be to long and 8 would be to short
The numerical expression that represents the total number is parentheses 15 divided by 3 plus parentheses 30 divided by 5
You can solve this question using two different methods. One is obviously a hit and trial method in which you keep guessing a number which gives the same amount of total cost. Second is forming two different equations and then solving them using simultaneous methods learnt.
The correct answer is 75 miles. I used the hit and trial method. You can see 20 + 75 * 0.35 = 46.25 and similarly 35 + 75 * 0.15 = 46.25. Hence the same cost.
