Answer:

3/4 teaspoons of pepper

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 teaspoons : 3 potatoes = x teaspoons : 9 potatoes

(1/4)/3 = x/9

3x = 9 * 1/4

x = 3 * 1/4

x = 3/4

Since 9 is 3 times the denominator of the first ratio, multiply the numerator of the first ratio by 3 to get the numerator of the second ratio. The amount of pepper is 3/4 teaspoon.

You work as a sales clerk at a fashion boutique. The store is having a 20 percent off everything sale. Additionally, your manage
lubasha [3.4K]

Your answer is D.


The jeans are 40% off (because you add 20% more).

And the original cost of the jeans is $30.


You could have done:

30 · 0.40 = 12  (Find 40% of $30, then subtract 30 by 40% of 30 to get the new sale price]

30 - 12 = 18


1 - 0.40 = 0.60  (You subtract 1 by 0.40 to get 0.60, which is the % of the original price that you have to pay)

30 · 0.60 = 18
