answer:
a. scarf costs today = $6
b. scarf costs 3 days from now = $3
step-by-step explanation:
- 1/2 off means you would multiply the amount by 1/2 then subtract
a. original price of scarf: $12
12 X 1/2 = 6
12 - 6 = 6
— scarf costs today = $6
- do the same thing but this time it is a different number
b. 12 X 3/4 = 9
12 - 9 = 3
— scarf costs 3 days from now = $3
Answer:
1/12=x/100
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2=x/100
1*100=100
100 dived by 12 =
8
1.8 is the square root of 3.24
Note: I am not 100% sure that this is the correct way to solve this problem. It is just my best attempt to help.
Keep in mind that every percentage can be made into a decimal. 12% = 0.12 because 12% is also 12/100 as a fraction.
Since a percentage is the original number multiplied by the percent, you can solve this problem by dividing the number given by the percent. Be sure to turn the percent into a decimal to make it easier. Your work should look like this:
12% = 0.12
1,000 / 0.12 = 8,333.33
That is the first step. How you have to finish the problem and find what 88% is. To do this, you can simply multiply 88%, or 0.88, times the answer you get in the first part. Your work should look like this:
88% = 0.88
0.88 * 8,333.33 = 7,333.33
Now to check your work, you can add 7,333.33 and 1,000 to see if it equal the total of 8,333.33
7,333.33 + 1,000 = 8,333.3
Since it is equal, this is your answer.
