We can create a equation to find out.
since we are finding a number where when multiplied by 1.25(this is the decimal form of the percentage) gives us 25, we know that the number we are finding is less than 25. here is the equation.
1.25(x)=25
divide both sides by 1.25 to get "x" alone.
x= 20

26 by 9
Area = L*W
Area = 26 * 9
Area = 234 square feet but there are 2 such walls
Area = 234 * 2
Area = 468 square feet total for these walls.
18 by 9
Area = L*W
Area = 18 * 9
Area = 162 square feet
Total area = 468 + 162 = 630 square feet.
1 gallon covers 250 square feet
x gallon covers 630 square feet
1/x = 250/630
250 x = 1 * 630
x = 630 / 250
x = 2.52 gallons. It is best that she buy 3 gallons of paint.
Hey there!
The first step of this problem would be to add together our two percentages, then convert that percentage into a decimal by dividing by 100.
15% + 7% = 22%
22 ÷ 100 = 0.22
It can be assumed here that 22% of the cost will be added tax and tip. We can use 0.22 to represent that percentage in our problem. Just multiply that decimal by the maximum amount of money they want to spend, $60, to get the amount that will just be tax and tip. Finally, subtract the tax and tip from $60 to find the most they can spend on the meal itself.
60 × 0.22 = 13.20
60 – 13.20 = 46.80
The total amount they can spend is 46.80.
Hope this helped you out! :-)
*REVERSE THE CHANGE QUESTION*
100% + 20% = 120% = $252
252 / 120 = $2.10 = 1%
100% = 2.1 x 100 = $210
