$Method\ \#1\\\\\begin{array}{ccc}31&-&40\%\\x&-&100\%\end{array}\ \ \ \ |cross\ multiply\\\\\\40x=31\cdot100\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 40\\\\x=\frac{3100}{40}\\\\\boxed{x=77.5}$

$Method\ \#2\\\\p\%=\frac{p}{100}\to40\%=\frac{40}{100}=0.40=0.4\\\\x-the\ number\\\\40\%\ of\ the\ number\ is\ 31:\\\\0.4x=31\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 0.4\\\boxed{x=77.5}$

Suki split five dog treats equally among her six dogs. Which fraction represents this division.

5 treats divided by six groups of one dog, or in easier terms, five dog treats divided up for 6 dogs. As a fraction, just remove the words except for 5, divided by, and 6, to give you 5/6. Hope this helped.

Find all angles, 0 ≤C<360 that satisfy the equation below, to the nearest tenth of a degree.

Move all the terms involving the sine to one side, and all the numbers to the other:

$9\sin(c)-2=\sin(c)-7 \iff 8\sin(c) = -5\iff \sin(c)=-\dfrac{5}{8} \iff c = \arcsin\left(-\dfrac{5}{8}\right)\approx 321.3$
