32/100 because it’s a percentage and 1.12/x. 1.12 times 100 to get 112, and then 32 times x = 32x. your equation right now is 32x = 112, bur we want to get rid of that x, so we are going to divide 112/32 to get the whole of 3.5 for the value of A.

The students at Midtown Middle school sold flowers as a fundraiser in September and October. In October, they charged $1.50 for

Phoenix [80]

Let the price of flowers in September be x, then (100 + 20)/100 * x = $1.50
120/100 * x = $1.50
1.2x = $1.50
x = $1.50/1.2 = $1.25
The price of flowers in September is $1.25

Total money realised in September = $1.25 x 900 = $1,125
40% earned = 0.4 x $1,125 = $450

Total money realised in October = $1.50 x 700 = $1,050
40% earned = 0.4 x $1,050 = $420

The class earned more money in September and they earned $30 more than in October.
