Answer:   53.4 = 19.9 + p

33.5% of commuters took public transportation in San Francisco.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the percentage of commuters took public transportation in San Francisco.

Given: 53.4% of commuters took public transportation in New York City, which was 19.9% greater than the percentage in San Francisco.

That means,

53.4 = 19.9 + p

Hence, required equation : 53.4 = 19.9 + p

Subtract 19.9 from both sides , we get

53.4-19.9=19.9-19.9+p\\\\\Rightarrow\ 33.5=p

hence, 33.5% of commuters took public transportation in San Francisco.

Maria plants 8 tulip bulbs. She gives 3 of the bulbs to her neighbor. What fraction of her bulbs does she give?
Margarita [4]
3/8

A fraction is a mathematical symbol to represent part of a whole. There are 8 tulips, which is the whole. 3 is the part. So it is 3/8. Hope this helps! :)

To answer this question you will find out the total number of cupcakes donated and then calculate the amount of each flavor based on the percentage that is stated.

Here are the steps:

1. 12 x 10 x 12 (12 classes each donating 10 dozen) = 1440

2. 0.55 x 1440 (55% are chocolate) = 792 chocolate

3. 1440 - 792 (the remaining number of cupcakes)=648

4. 1/3(33 1/3%) x 648 = 216 red velvet

5. 1440 - 792 (chocolate) - 216 (red velvet) = 432 vanilla cupcakes

Chocolate-792
Red velvet - 216
Vanilla - 432
