Answer:
D. 3,750
Step-by-step explanation:
Use proportions to solve:
125/500 = x/15000
Cross multiply:
125*15000 = 1,875,000
1,875,000/500 = 3,750
x = 3,750
1.) Simply to 1/5 and 1/10
2.) put in decimal form 1/5= .2 and 1/10 = .1
3.) Add = .3
It would be C
It is what you pay at the end of a real estate transaction
So 2.25 is 50% of the original price
let's write original price as x
50% of x = 2.25
0.5 * x = 2.25
divide both sides by 0.5
x = 4.5
The original price is 4.5
To check:
50% * (4.5) =?= 2.25
0.5 * 4.5 =?= 2.25
2.25 = 2.25
Hope this helps.
