Answer:
0.30
Step-by-step explanation:
You only need to significant figures which means two numbers following the decimal point for this problem. No rounding is necessary as no numbers are over five following your first two digits past the decimal place.
The goal here is to find the cost of the painting BEFORE the 60% increase.
To find the cost of the painting, we must take in the information we already have:
Increase percent: 60%
Original price: unknown
Price after increase: $400
$400 is the price of the painting AFTER the increase has been added. So this equals the cost of the painting before the increase, plus the total amount of the increase (which is 60% of the original price).
The total must be (100% + 60% = 160%) 160% of the original painting price.
To find the original price, we must divide the increased price by the new percentage (160%). But how do we get here?
Well, we have 160% and our (fraction) $400/1%. We will have to switch the 160% and the 1%, giving us..
1% $400/160%
We take 400/160, which is 2.5. But this is only 1% of the original price! We want 100%.
So now, we multiply the 2.5 by 100 to get our answer: $250.
I hope this helps! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Answer: 7
and maybe 5.83
Step-by-step explanation:
If she worked 5 days a week, and worked the same hours of those days, then the answer is 7. You simply divide 35/5 which gives you that answer. And they’ve already given you the answer for Saturday, so yeah.
But you did say she only worked 5 days a week—in 35 hours. And you also said “how many hours did she work on the other days”. If Saturday’s hours was already stated, then are you implying she worked for 6 days instead of 5? Because there’s 7 days a week and if Saturday is unaccounted for, then she worked 6 days. In that case, your answer would be 5.83.
