$9.74
I like to do these equations backwards and multiply the first number by the opposite of it. ( think 1- the percent as a decimal) however, you can do this by converting the percent into a decimal and then subtracting that from the original number.
Have a great day!
Since the Power is directly proportional to the velocity, their ratio
is constant.
<span>Therefore </span>
which is a proportion:
500 : 1000 = x : 1728
that can be easily solved:
x = (500×1728)/1000 = 864kW
Answer:
The answer to your question is $1.29
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Total amount of cupcakes = 50
Total amount of sugar = 3 1/2 cups = 3.5 cups
Cost of 5-pound bag = $3.69
2 cups = 1 pound
Total cost = ?
Process
1.- Calculate the amount of pounds needed
2 cups ------------------ 1 pound
3.5 cups --------------- x
x = (3.5 x 1) / 2
x = 3.5 / 2
x = 1.75 pounds
2.- Calculate the price of 1.75 pounds
5 pounds -------------- $3.69
1.75 pounds ---------- x
x = (1.75 x 3.69)/5
x = 6.46/5
x = $1.29
3.- Conclusion
The cost of sugar to prepare 50 cupcakes is $1.29
