Answer:
a percent is a variable of proportionality describing the part of the whole.
Answer:
13 and 27
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=40
x- smaller
2y-x=41
x=2y-41
Now to plug it into our first equation:
3y-41=40
3y=81
y=27
x=13
Chocolate = 18%
Vanilla = 25%
Strawberry = 12%
Mint Chip = 10%
Other = 35%
The explanation for me getting these exact percentages is because of the formulas given for calculating the percentages from specific numbers and real world problems like this. When you are trying to find the calculation precentages of these types of questions, you divide the number by the total surveyed and multiple by 100.
Example:
125 / 500 = 0.25
0.25 x 100 = 25%
So, this is also how I got the other numbers, just change the "125" to the other numbers.
In order for the product to be less then 5/8, it would have to be multiplied by a fraction that is less then 1.
so ur answer would be : 7/10 * 5/8
