Laura got a discount of 100 dollars on her purchase of a 5775 bed.What is the percent of decrease?

1 answer:

5 0

Remember that percent means parts out of 100
x/100

discount is the decrease
so we divide the decrease by the original total and get
100/5775=0.0173
convert to fraction
0.0173/1
make bottom number 100
multiply by 100/100
1.73/100=1.73%
round
2%

Which is bigger? 1.27 or 1 1/3?

uranmaximum [27]

11/3 is bigger 1.27 because when you do 11/3 you get 3.66666666666666666667 which is clearly bigger than 1.27 so like I said 11/3 is bigger than 1.27.

2 of the dozen eggs in a cartoon are cracked about what percent of the carton is not cracked

pychu [463]

well, a carton has a dozen, namely 12 or the 100%, two were cracked.

if we know 12 is the 100%, what is 2 off of it in percentage?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
amount&\%\\
\cline{1-2}
12&100\\
2&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{12}{2}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies x=\cfrac{2\cdot 100}{12}\implies x=16.\overline{66}$
