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>

jek_recluse [69]

A pound of oranges cost x dollar => A pound of pears cost x+3 dollar

We have: 8x+4(x+3)=30 => 12x=30-12=18 =>x=1.5

5 pounds of pears cost: 5(x+3)=5(1.5+3)=5*4.5= 22.5 (dollar)

Round 17.641 to the nearest whole number
vfiekz [6]
The nearest whole number would be 18 because the 6 is greater than 5. Anything greater than five, would most likely be rounded to the nearest whole number. Hope this helped!
