17 ½ % of 240
First option
Change the fraction ½
to a decimal. It would be 0.5 ( 1 divided by 2)
½=0.5
You will add the whole number 17 to the result.
17 + 05 = 17.5
Now you will divide by 100 (percent)
17.5 /100 To divide a
decimal by 100, move the decimal point two
places to the left.
17.5 /100 = 0.175 times 240
0.175 x 240 = 42
Second option
Change the percent to an improper fraction
17 ½= 35/2 (you have to multiply (2 x 17) plus 1 equals 35
over 2 ( keep the denominator). It will be 35/2. Put the other number (240) over 100 and
multiply.
35/2 x 240/100 = 42
There is another way . You can simplify
Cancel all the zeros that you have and start to reduce.

17 ½ % of 240 = 42
Answer:
$12
Step-by-step explanation:
If we stuck with the price of $8, then we end with an income of $2400
Increasing it by $1 will decrease attendance by 20
8 x 300 = 2400
9 x 280 = 2520
10 x 260 = 2600
11 x 240 = 2640
12 x 220 = 2640
13 x 200 = 2600
We're starting to go down, so let's stop there
The ticket price of $11 or $12 appears to give the most income
I would stick with $12 since your still getting more money from one ticket
The amount of money each of Mr Mokwebo 's two sons; Tokelo and Refentse will get is R116 and R95 respectively.
<h3>How to write and solve equation:</h3>
- Amount needed to buy chocolate = R253
- Tokelo's money = x
- Refentse's money = x - 21
Total amount needed = Tokelo's money + Refentse's money
253 = x + (x - 21)
253 = x + x - 21
253 = 2x - 21
253 - 21 = 2x
232 = 2x
divide both sides by 2
x = 232/2
x = 116
Therefore,
Tokelo's money = x = R116
Refentse's money = x - 21
= 116 - 21
= R95
