1/8 or 1 in 8. There are 8 sections and only one is yellow. Therefore, you have a 1/8 chance of spinning yellow. As a percent it would
be 12.5%
use this equation to solve for the surface area.
A=2(w+l+hl +hw)
w stands for width
l stands for length
h stands for height
The total salary juma receives for the month of July before the deductions is sh. 12,800
<h3>Amount of earnings</h3>
Let
- Total salary = x
- Amount spent on school fees = 1/2x
- Amount spent on farming = 1/8x
School fees + farming = 1/2x + 1/8x
= 4x+x/8
= 5/8x
Amount remaining = x - 5/8x
=8x-5x /8
= 3/8x
Amount spent on food = 2/3 × 3/8x
= 6/24x
= 1/4x
So,
1/4x = sh.3200
x = 3200 ÷ 1/4
x = 3200 × 4
x = sh. 12,800
Complete question:
Juma spent half of his salary on school fees one-eighth on farming and two thirds of the reminder on food . Calculate his July salary if he spent sh.3200 on food
