Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

since the cross multiples are equal, you find a product and use the inverse operation as you would in an equation

Example 4 is to 36 as 3 is to X: 4/36 = 3/X --> 4*X = 3*36. Divide both sides by 4, to solve for X = 27.

is over of = percent of 100

is/of=%/100

What is 10% of 40.

is = x

x/40 = 10/100

cross mulitply 40*10= 400/100=4 x=4

When students cross multiply while solving a proportion, they are really multiplying both sides of the equation by the products of the two denominators. What happens is that each denominator cancels one of the factors on each side, so that it seems as if you have just crossed multiplied

You go into a cafe and you see on the menu that coffee costs R20.50, a muffin costs R10.29 and a sweet costs 59 cents. You order
Viktor [21]

Answer:

R 42.26

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the bill correctly we must add the orders separately and in the sweet cost when adding, we should write it as 0.59 not 59.

my order            my friend's order

 20.50                   10.29

+ 10.29                +   0.59

<u>                 </u>                  0.59

R 30.79                <u>              </u>

                             R  11.47

<em>R 30.79 + R 11.47 = </em><em>R 42.26</em>
