Total number of pencils: 8

Imagine you are adding money then, 100%= 4/4

(4 is used because there are 4 quarters in a dollar and a dollar = 100 cents )

Therefore, all you have to do is multiply 2 by 4: 2 is 25% and there are four 25 percents in one dollar

Ex: 25% + 25% + 25% + 25% = 100% 

25%=2 pencils                
50%=4 pencils 
75%=6 pencils 
100%=8 pencils in total

2 = 25%. 25% also means 1/4. So, it is a quarter of something. So. So find 100%, you have to multiply 2 by 4. 2 * 4 = 8. Roman has 8 pencils in his backpack.

Exterior angle theorem
16x - 7 = 8x + 2 + 10x - 19    ===>  16x -7 = 18x - 17
16x - 16x - 7 = 18x - 16x - 17 ===> -7 = 2x - 17
-7 + 17 = 2x - 17 + 17             ===> 10 = 2x ======> 5 = x
Plug x in to each equation.
Angle P: 8(5) + 2 = 42 deg, Angle Q: 10(5) - 19 = 31
The sum of interior angles = 180. 180 - 42 -31 = 107 deg (angle of PRQ)
To check that line other angle : 16(5) -7 = 73 deg + 107 = 180 deg

Find the sale price to the nearest cent .. $40 sweater; 33%discount​
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

$26.80

Step-by-step explanation:

(I don't know exactly how other people were taught to do percentages, but this is how I was taught and I find it the easiest for me.)

You are going to subtract your percentage number by 100.

100 - 33 = 67

This will give you your multiplier so you can then get your answer but you have to turn it into a decimal.

0.67 x 40 = 26.80

Do cross multiplication;

(240000cm x 1km)/1000000cm
