Essentially, we must take 5% of $1250. When we drop the percent sign, we move the decimal 2 places to the left, giving .05. Then "of" means multiply. We take $1250 and multiply times .05, giving 
<span>$62..50 </span>

<span>Another way to do it is to take 10%, or $125. </span>
<span>Then 5% is half of that. Half of $125 is $62.50 We can do that by dividing $125 by 2. I did it in my head. Others might do it on paper. Still others might have a calculator handy and say $125 divided by 2 on the calculator. We should all get the same answer unless one person spaces out or is tired. It happens!</span>

last weekend, 5% of the tickets sold at sea world were discount tickets. If sea world sold 60 tickets in all, how many discount
Ronch [10]
The percent proportion is a/b = p/100, where p is the percentage of the total fraction on the left side of the equation that you are trying to figure out.

We know that p=5, because p represents percentage, and the percentage 5% is equal to the fraction 5/100.  Also, we know that 60 = b, or the denominator as this is the entire portion that we are trying to figure out.

a/60=5/100

Now, we need to use cross products, or multiplying the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other, and setting them equal to one another.

100 * a = 60 * 5

If we simplify by multiplying, then we get the equation:

100a = 300

When we divide the variable by the coefficient, we get the equation

a=3

Therefore, sea world sold 3 discount tickets.

In a function, y varies inversely with x. The consistent of variation is 4. Which table could represent the function?
lianna [129]

Answer:

none of the tables shown

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse variation is

xy = k where k is the constant

xy = 4

in the top table

-2*2 = -4 so it cannot be the first table

In the middle table

-2 * -8 = 16  so it is not the middle table

In the bottom table

-2 *4 = -8 so it is not the bottom table

There must be a table not shown

– THE ODDS IN FAVOR OF BORIS PENZED WINNING THE HOT
Bezzdna [24]

The probability that Boris will win the contest is:

P = 0.286

<h3>How to get the probability?</h3>

For some given odds a:b, the probability is just computed as the quotient between a and b, which gives:

P = a/b

In this case, the odds are 2:7, so the probability that Boris will win the contest is:

P = 2/7 = 0.286

Written in percentage form, we get:

P = 28.6%
