Simple, first change the 4.5% into 0.045
Thus,
900=0.045*n
900/0.045=0.045n/0.045
20,000=n
Thus, your answer is 20,000.
Answer:
64 ivy stems
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem we can use rule of three:
Firstly we had 72 ivy stems to use in 18 centerpieces, and know we have 16 centerpieces and want to know how many ivy stems we need to use, so:
18 centerpieces -> 72 ivy stems
16 centerpieces -> X ivy stems
18/16 = 72/X
X = 16*72/18 = 64
He needs to use now 64 ivy stems to maintain the ratio.
x = 3 is the answer can you pls add me brainliest answer
