  You can set up a proportion to solve for the percentage of the coins that are pennies. Of course, there are alternate methods as well, but this is one method. First, you define the percentage of the coins that are pennies to be equal to a variable, such as x. Next, you write 240/600 = x/100, due to how "x" is the amount out of 100 (since per cent is for every cent (out of 100)), and 240 would correspond to x while 600 would correspond to 100. This proportion may also be written as 100/x = 600/240, or 240/x = 600/100. In order to solve for x, you use cross-products, or you multiply each denominator by the numerator of the other fraction. You will be left with a numerical value that's equal to a number times x, and then you divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x in order to isolate x. As a result, you will have the percentage of the coins that are pennies to be your answer. Remember to write the units for every numerator and denominator in your proportion.

To find percent divide 240/600 then * 100
240/600 = .4
.4 * 100 = 40%

The cost y (in dollars) to rent a lane at the bowling alley is proportional to the number x of hours that you rent the lane. It
Alika [10]

Answer:

a) y = 9x

b) For every increase of 1 hour the price to rent the lane increases by $9.

c) $27

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Since it costs $18 for 2 hours we can infer that for every 1 hour it costs $9.

So, the equation would look like this:

y = 9x

b) In this context, for every increase of 1 hour the price to rent the lane increases by $9. Like the question gave us, the price for 2 hours cost $18.

c) Plug 3 into the equation:

y = 9(3)

y = 27

Therefore, it costs $27 to rent the lane for 3 hours.
