If you have 8 yellow balloons for every 12 blue balloons, then if you have 20 balloons in total, 8 out of 20 of those balloons will be yellow. Then you can set up this ratio.
Then, you can use either cross multiplication or multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number to help solve for x. Personally, I prefer cross multiplication.
Finally, solve for x and if you had 100 balloons, you will have 40 yellow balloons.
For the first part you need to find 85% of 16,000. its 13,600. you get this by multiplying .85 by 16,000.
for part two, i don't know how to show the work, but 816 is 96% of 850.
sorry about that, but i hope it helps
