Step 1:
Add rent & car payments
=11,250+1422
=$12,672
Step 2:
to determine %, set up a proportion
12,672 is to his total of 39,600 as x is to 100
12,672/39,600 = x/100
cross multiply
(12,672)(100) = (39,600)(x)
1,267,200= 39,600x
divide both sides by 39,600
32%= x
OR
Alternative Step 2:
12,672 ÷ 39,600= 0.32
Alternative Step 3:
0.32 x 100 = 32%
or move decimal to the right 2 places
His rent and car payments are 32% of his earnings.
Hope this helps! :)
The answer is 66.
66 * 3 = 198
66 * 5 = 330
So to find the ratio of the actual house to the house in the picture you would divide 72/4 to get 18. this means that the ratio is 18:1. Now multiply 2.5 x18 to get the real life height of the house. 2.5x18=45.
So the house is 45 feet tall.
Please anyone correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is right.
