Answer: 2.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use the rule of 3 here.
If the total price is $275,000 or 100% of the sale, then $6,875 is X% of the total sale.
Let's put money on one side and percentages on the other.

Solve for x;


Subtract the 2nd row from the 1st row
5x = 5
Solve for x in the equation above
x = 1
Substitute x = 1 into any of the two equations above
Let's pick the first equation; 4x + 3y = -5
4 * 1 + 3y = -5
Solve for y in the equation above
y = -3
Therefore,
<u>x = 1</u>
<u>y = -3</u>
Answer:
The answer to your question is 0.83 or 83%
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
5 red marbles
10 blue marbles
14 yellow marbles
Process
1.- Calculate the total amount of marbles
Total amount = 5 red + 10 blue + 14 yellow
Total amount = 29 marbles
2.- Calculate the amount of marbles that are not red
No red marbles = 10 + 14
= 24 marbles
3.- Calculate the probability
Probability of not pulling a red marble = 
Probability of not pulling a red marble = 
12000 x 0.40 = 4800
12000 - 4800 = 7200
7200 acres are being logged
