I'm going to show you two ways to do it.
Way #1 is the slogging way.
Way #2 is the clever way.


Way #1:

' One hundred percent ' means ALL of something.
ALL of the students in the school is the same as 100% of them.
If 10% are absent, then 90% are present.
90% means  0.9  .

                               1620 students  =  90% of the school.

                                            1620  =  0.9 x school total

Divide each side by 0.9:     1620/0.9 = total school

                                             1800  =  total school

How many were absent ? 
10% of them. 
10%  means  0.10  .

                         0.10  x  1800  =  180 students absent .
_______________________________________

Way #2:

' One hundred percent ' means ALL of something.
ALL of the students in the school is the same as 100% of them.

==> If 10% are absent, then 90% are present.

==> The number of students present is  9 times  the number who are absent.

                                            1620 = 9 x the number absent

Divide each side by  9 :    1620 / 9  =    the number absent

                                       1620 / 9  =  180 absent .

Find the total price, including 5 percent tax, for a 7.95 dinner a .90 beverage and a 2.35 dessert.
Ksivusya [100]
To find percent tax, add the cost of the meal, which would be 11.20. A 5% tax would be 11.20*0.05=$0.56. This would be added on to the bill. So 11.20+0.56. This means the total cost of the meal is $11.76

Lisa runs 10 miles in 75 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would she run in 69 minutes?
Ksenya-84 [330]
I would set this up as a ratio:
\frac{10}{75} =  \frac{x}{69}

From here on, you solve for x. To do so, you can cross multiply:
690=75x
x =  \frac{690}{75} = 9.2

So, Lisa can run 9.2 miles in 69 minutes.
