9 because if each poinsettia is $20 and she sold 15 she made $300 on the poinsettia. 543-300=243 so she made $243 on the wreaths and each reath costs $27 so 243÷27=9
        
             
        
        
        
Let's thing
949 ----- 100% of the price
499 ------ x% of the price
Multiply in cross
949.x = 100.499
949x = 49900
x = 49900/949
x = 52,58%
So, rounding it 52,58% ≈ 53%

The last two (multiplying and dividing by a negative number on both sides) are the answer. Good luck and have a nice day!
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
   B)  The earthquake measuring 4.5 on the Richter scale is about 32 times more intense than an earthquake measuring 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Ra = log(Ia/Io), and Rb = log(Ib/Io). Then for ...
   Ra - Rb = 4.5 -3.0 = 1.5
   log(Ia/Io) -log(Ib/Io) = 1.5 . . . . . . . . . . . substitute the given expressions
   (log(Ia) -log(Io)) -(log(Ib) -log(Io)) = 1.5 . . . expand the logs
   log(Ia) -log(Ib) = 1.5 . . . . simplify
   log(Ia/Ib) = 1.5 . . . . . . . . write as a single log
   Ia/Ib = 10^1.5 ≈ 32 . . . . take the antilog
The ratio of intensities is about 32, corresponding to choice B.
