Whenever you need to find the percentage OF a number (often money), you just convert that percentage to a decimal (just move the decimal to the left twice so 40% becomes 0.40, 10.5% becomes 0.105, 2% becomes 0.02, etc) and MULTIPLY that decimal by the amount/number you need to find the percentage of.

For example, find the 20% commission of a $10,000 car sale
Calculation:
0.20x$10000 = $2000
Answer:
the commission would be $2000

That’s how you do it. I hope that helps. You should be able to solve it on your own now.

100% = 1.0
2.5% = 0.025

So now we know the decimal that corresponds to 2.5%, so all we have to do is multiply the price of the boat by this value in order to find the commission earned:

18 500 x 0.025 = $462.50

A box contains orange balls and green balls. The number of green balls is seven more than three times the number of orange balls
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

52 green, 15 orange

Step-by-step explanation:

g + o = 67   g = green, o = orange, x = total

g = 3o + 7

use substitution: (3o + 7) + o = 67

solve for o:

4o + 7 = 67

4o = 60

o = 60/4 = 15

solve for g:

g + 15 = 67

g = 52

10x + 7y = –8<br> 7x + 7y = –14
Georgia [21]

Answer:

(2, - 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

10x + 7y = - 8 → (1)

7x + 7y = - 14 → (2)

Subtract (2) from (1) term by term to eliminate y

(10x - 7x) + (7y - 7y) = - 8 - (- 14) , that is

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

10(2) + 7y = - 8

20 + 7y = - 8 ( subtract 20 from both sides )

7y = - 28 ( divide both sides by 7 )

y = - 4

solution to the system of equations is (2, - 4 )

Multiply eight and eighty-eight hundredths by two and three tenths
zimovet [89]

Answer:

20.424

Step-by-step explanation:

Given words can be written as

Eight and eighty-eight hundredths = (8+\frac{88}{100})

                                                            = \frac{800+88}{100}

                                                            = 8.88

Two and three tenth = (2+\frac{3}{10})

                                   =  \frac{20+3}{10}

                                   =  2.3

Now multiply them

i.e 8.88 × 2.3 = 20.424

So 20.424 is the Answer

All of them plz I need help if ur older Shouldnt be hard
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

The answer for number 1 would be 57 dollars and 80 cents

Number two would be little ceasars

Number 3 would be 75 dollars and 60 cent

Number 4 would be 40 dollars and 80 cent

Number 5 would be 110 dollars and 98 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of you take 68 and times it by 15% which would be .15 you would get 10.2 you would then take 68 and subtract 10.2 from it and get 57.8

Number 2: take 7.50 times it by .3 and you get 2.25 then subtract 2.25 from 7.50 and you get 5.25 so even with the coupon little ceasars pizza is still 25cent cheaper

Number 3: add 42 to 28 and you get 70. 8% of 70 is 5.6 so add 5.6 to 70 and you have your answer of 75.60

Number 4: 35.48 is the price alone. Times that number by .15 and you get 5.322. Add 35.48 and 5.322 to get 40.802 but for money wise you just need the 40.80

Number 5: 118 one again is the price standing alone but 118 multiplied by .10 is 11.8 so subtract 11.8 from 118 and you get 106.2 but there is still a sales tax. So 106.2 times .045 or 4.5% would be 4.779, add that number to 106.2 and you get 110.979. Now the problem did not say anything about rounding but the 9 would make the 7 an 8 so of you do that you get 110.98.

So to help you in the future when dealing with percentages with discounts and tax’s. if it’s a discount once you times the original number by the percentage you subtract the sum from the original number. As for taxes you do the same process but instead of subtracting you add
