Question

Two ways you could evaluate 37% of the sum of 27 3/5 and 15.9 plz answer as soon as you can

Answer 1

Answer:

16.095.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We can either find 37% of both the numbers and add the results, or we can add the numbers and then find the 37% of the sum.  

1. Let us find 37% of both numbers separately.

First of all we will convert our mixed fraction into improper fraction.

$27\frac{3}{5}=\frac{138}{5}$

37% of $27\frac{3}{5}$ will be,

$\frac{138}{5}\times \frac{37}{100}=\frac{138}{5}\times 0.37$

$27.6\times 0.37=10.212$

Now let us find 37% of 15.9.

$15.9\times \frac{37}{100}=15.9\times 0.37=5.883$

Now let us add 37% of both numbers.

$10.212+5.883=16.095$  

Therefore, 37% of our given numbers will be 16.095.

2. Now we will add both numbers and then find 37% of their sum.

$27\frac{3}{5} +15.9=\frac{138}{5}+15.9$

$27.6 +15.9=43.5$

Now let us find 37% of 43.5.  

$43.5\times\frac{37}{100}=43.5\times 0.37=16.095$

Therefore, 37% of 43.5 is 16.095. We have seen that using either way we got the same answer.
