The side lengths are given in proportions which are 2:3:5:6. The perimeter is given as the sum of all the sides which is given as 48 cm. Using ratio and proportion, the sum of all the sides or the perimeter is proportional to the sum of all the fractions and the largest fraction is proportional to the longest side of the quadrilateral. 

Let x be the longest side of the quadrilateral. The largest proportion is 6. 
6/(2+3+5+6) = 6/16
6/16 = x/48

x= 18 cm. The longest side is 18 cm. The other sides are 6, 9, 15 using the other proportions.

18 is __% of 30
I am Lyosha [343]

A percent is just a fraction.
So take your two numbers and make a fraction with them ...  18/30 .

18  is  18/30  of  30 .

Now, to find the percent that's equivalent to  18/30 ,
first do the division:

                     18/30  =  0.6  .

Now, to change a decimal into percent,
move the decimal point two places that way  ==> .

                                     0.6  =  60% .

                                  18  is  60%  of  30 .

Answer: 4 paddles

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Jones buys the paddle for $35 and sells at 180% of the purchase price:

= 35 * 180/100

= $63

For the number of paddle sales to be at least $250, he should sell:

= 250/63

= 3.97

= 4 paddles
