Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

so

3 cupcakes had sprinkles

27 didn't have sprinkles

which means that there are a total of 30 cupcakes, (because 3 + 27 is 30)

so then set up a proportion

part/whole = percent/one hundred

substitute in the given values

3 / 30= precent/100

simplify

1/10 = precent/100

you don't have to use cross products here because it is pretty obvious that 10 * 10 = 100 so then just multiply 1/10 by 10 and you get your answer

percent = 10

because since all abc and xy have the same coefficients it makes it easier. 
i just made a=-2, b=-4,and c=4 because when added up it equals -2
i also made both x and y =5 becasue when added up it equals 10
so, -9(-2)+2(5)-9(-4)-9(4)+2(5)
18+10+36-36+10=38

$3.25 per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

She had $30 and now has $4, so she spent $30- $4 = $26

With $24 she bought 8 gallons of gas.  

$26/(8 gallons) = $3.25/(1 gallon)      [ divide 26 by 8 to get the unit rate]

She spent $3.25 per gallon
