Answer:
87.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the entire rectangle is 8 by 6,
8x6=48 so the area is 48 units^2.
The area of the triangle is A=1/2bh
A=1/2(2)(6)
A=1(6)
A=6 units^2
6/48=0.125
0.125=12.5%
You need to find the percent it will not land in the triangle, so subtract 12.5 from 100.
100-12.5=87.5
There is an 87.5% chance it will not land in the triangle
"The quotient of a number and 3 less than twice the number" would translate to the expression x/(2x-3)
Basically we have x up top the fraction and 2x-3 in the bottom denominator of the fraction. The slash / means divide
Answer: The group wants to raise $1,200.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a proportion to solve.
part/whole = percent/100
If we insert the values:
276/x = 23/100
We can cross multiply.
276 x 100 = 27,600
27,600 / 23 = 1,200
$1,200 is the answer.
