Answer:
Note that the ratio 12 to 3 is said to be equivalent to the ratio 4 to 1, that is 12:3 = 4:1.
Add 12 to both sides resulting in 5a = 60 and then divide both sides by 5 which results in a = 12 so your answer will be a = 12
As we know assets = liabilities + equity
In this case assets would be increased by $76,000 and the liabilities would be increased by $76,000
Did I answer your question, or did you mean something else?
First of all work out how many tom and scott sold.
tom sold 60% of 90 cookies which is 54.
scott sold 2/3 of 150 cookies which is 100.
altogether the three of them sold 54+100+46 cookies which is 200.
Dawn sold 46 of these 200 cookies. To work out the percentage we have both the numbers to get 23 out of 100. We halved those numbers because a percentage is out of 100 we halved it to get it out of 100.
so 23 out of 100 is 23% so dawn sold 23%of the cookies.
Hope this helps :)
