Answer:

There are 800 total books.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we need to create a proportion that compares the number of non-fiction books to the total. First would be the scale factor and the second would be the total.

3/10 = 240/x

Now we can cross multiply to solve

240*10 = 3 * x

2400 = 3x

800 = x

Nuetrik [128]

Answer

There are 170 ways the student can answer the test.

Explanation

If there are 20 multiple-choice questions with 5 choices each, the student has 100 choices. The first question has 5 choices to pick from. The second has 5 as well. So does the third. Hopefully now you realize that you have to multiply the number of choices by the number of questions.

The same thing goes with the true/false questions. There are 2 choices for each true/false question, and there are 35 of those. 35×2 is 70. There are 70 ways to answer on the true/false questions.

Now combine the number of choices on the first part and the second part; 100+70 is 170.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:


$3,150

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the sale price, multiply the original price ($3,500) by 0.90.  This 0.90 comes from subtracting 10% from 100% and converting the result to the decimal fraction 0.90.

0.90($3,500) = $3,150
