Answer: 84%

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Since 25 is the output value, we can assume that it is 100%

2. Now we out what we want to find with x

3. From step one, 25=100%

4. In the same line, x%=21

5. This gives us 2 equations:

100%=25(1)

x%=21(2)

6. By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the left hand side of both equations have the same unit (%); we have (set up a proportion)

7. Then, take the reciprocal and solve. You should end up with x=84%

Jane buys some rocks for decorating her backyard. She uses a box full of rocks. The box is a rectangular container that is 1 yar

statuscvo [17]

First, Jane must know the volume of the box.
Volume = l * w * h
Volume = 1 * 0.5 * 0.5
Volume = 0.25 yard^3

1 yard^3 = $25

So,
1 : 25 = 0.25 : x
x = 25 * 0.25
x = $6.25

So she need to spend $6.25

1. Dorothy bought a teddy bear and sold it at a 20% profit to Kim. Kim bought a suit costing $100 and dressed the teddy bear up

makkiz [27]

1. Dorothy paid $200 for the teddy bear

2. y is more than x by $33\frac{1}{3}$ %

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The given is:

Dorothy bought a teddy bear and sold it at a 20% profit to Kim
Kim bought a suit costing $100 and dressed the teddy bear up in the suit
Kim then sold the teddy bear in the suit to Karen for $442
Kim made a profit of 30%

We need to find how much Dorothy paid for the teddy bear

Assume that Dorothy bought a teddy bear for $x

∵ Dorothy bought a teddy bear for $x

∵ She sold it at a profit 20% to Kim

By using the ratio method

→ Buying price : Profit : Selling price

→ 100% : 20% : 120% ⇒ (100% + 20%)

→ x : : ?

By using cross multiplication

∴ 100% × Selling price = x × 120%

- Divide both sides by 100%

∴ Selling price = 1.2x

∴ Dorothy sold the teddy bear for $1.2x to Kim

∵ Kim bought a suit costing $100 and dressed the teddy bear

up in the suit

∴ The cost of the teddy bear = 1.2x + 100

∵ Kim sold the teddy bear in the suit to Karen for $442

∵ Kim made a profit of 30%

By using the ratio method

→ Cost price : Profit : Selling price

→ 100% : 30% : 130% ⇒ (100% + 30%)

→ 1.2x + 100 : : 442

By using cross multiplication

∴ (1.2x + 100) × 130% = 100% × 422

- Divide both sides by 130%

∴ 1.2x + 100 = 340

- Subtract 100 from both sides

∴ 1.2x = 240

- Divide both sides by 1.2

∴ x = 200

∴ Dorothy bought the teddy bear for $200

Dorothy paid $200 for the teddy bear

2. The given is:

x is less than y by 25%
Then y is more than x by how many percent

Assume that y is 100%

∵ y = 100%

∵ x is less than y by 25%

∴ x = 100% - 25%

∴ x = 75%

- The percentage of increasing of y = $\frac{y-x}{x}$ × 100%

∵ The percentage of increasing of y = $\frac{100-75}{75}$ × 100%

∴ The percentage of increasing of y = $\frac{25}{75}$ × 100%

∴ The percentage of increasing of y = $\frac{1}{3}$ × 100%

∴ The percentage of increasing of y = $33\frac{1}{3}$ %

y is more than x by $33\frac{1}{3}$ %

A fitness club charges $25 per month as well as a one-time $80 fee of all new members which equation represents the cost in doll

madam [21]

Answer: So if you want to find the total cost (c) for a certain number of months (m) and it costs $35 per month, you just need to multiply the number of months by the cost per month. So

35m=c

If you want to see the units cancel

($35/month)(months)=$

The months will cancel out, and you will be left with total dollars.

Not sure about the second part of your question, but if you wanted to figure out how much it would cost to be a member for 6 months, you would just plug in 6 for m.

35(6)=c

c=210

So $210
