Answer: 85% = 0.85

While 15% = 0.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage is a fraction whose denominator is 100. So if we say 15%, we mean 15/100 = 0.15.

If want to find 15% of a 100, it means 15% of 100 = 15/100 × 100 = 15.

To find 85 % of 100 means 85/100 × 100= 85

hence subtraction of 15% from 100% is 85%

Therefore 15% = 15/100 = 0.15

While 85% is 85/100 = 0.85

Answer:

15% discount means you're paying 85% of the marked price because total is 100% and 100-15 = 85%

Let X be the naked price

Paid = marked price - discount

Paid = X - (15/100 × X)

Using distribution property,

Paid = X(1 - 15/100)

Paid = X[(100-15)/100]

Paid = X(85/100)

Which is 85/100 × X

Hence 85% of X

In their last game, the school football team scored an equal number of points in each of the first three quarters, then 14points
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

10 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Points scored in each of the first 3 quarter = x

Total points scored in the first 3 quarter = x + x + x

= 3x

Points scored in the fourth quarter = 14

Total points scored = 44 point

Total points scored = Total points scored in the first 3 quarter + Points scored in the fourth quarter

44 = 3x + 14

Subtract 14 from both sides

44 = 3x + 14

44 - 14 = 3x + 14 - 14

30 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3

x = 30/3

= 10

x = 10 points

Points scored in each of the first 3 quarter = x = 10 points

The school football team scored 10 points points in the first quarter

A beverage is made by mixing three parts of water with five parts of fruit juice how many parts of water are mixed with one part
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

3/5 part water.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio for water to fruit juice is 3:5, then if you divide the fruit juice by 5 to get one you must do the same on the other side, giving you 3/5(which cant be simplified further), which makes 3/5:1.
