Answer:

12 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question would be:

If ice cream is the last dessert, then we can solve for how many percent of the students like ice cream. If we add the 4 desserts percent, it should be equal to 100%

Pie : 15%

Candy : 23%

Cake : 27%

Pie% + Candy% + cake% + ice cream% = 100%

15% + 23% + 27% + Ice cream% = 100%

65% + Ice cream% = 100%

Ice cream% = 100% - 65%

Ice cream % = 35%

Percent is a way of saying how many out of a 100. Before we can tell how many students like pie, we need to figure out how many students were surveyed.

It says here that 35% of them like ice cream and among the students, 28 students like ice cream. This means that 28 is 35% of a number, which will be the number of students surveyed.

So as a fraction:

35\% = \dfrac{35}{100}

We need to find a ratio that is proportional to that, with 28 as the part of the whole.

\dfrac{35}{100} = \dfrac{28}{x}\\\\Cross-multiply\\\\35x = 28(100)\\\\35x = 2800\\\\Divide\;both\;sides\;by\;35\\\\\dfrac{35x}{35} = \dfrac{2800}{35}\\\\x=80

So that is the number of students survey. Now to look for how may people like pie, we find what is 15% of 80. So we find the part of the whole this time:

\dfrac{15}{100}=\dfrac{x}{80}\\\\15(80)=100x\\\\1200 = 100x\\\\\dfrac{1200}{100}=\dfrac{100x}{100}\\\\12 = x

ryzh [129]

Answer:

$104

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert 60% to a decimal.

60% = 0.6

Now, multiply the cost to buy the camera ($65) by the decimal.

$65 × 0.6 = $39

Now, add this amount to the amount it cost to buy the camera.

$65 + $39 = $104

The selling price for the camera will be $104.
