The answer will be 0.52. because percent means per hundred so 52% means 52 per 100 or 52/100 so if you divide 52 by 100 you get 0.52. this method works on all percents..just put a 0 . and whatever two digit percent you are converting.

Hope this Helps! :)<span />

Anita purchased a couch that was priced at $700. She will also have to pay 6% sales tax. How much will she pay in total for the

Zolol [24]

Answer:

$742

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you need to figure out what 6% of 700 dollars is and then add that to 700. The easiest way to find the percentage of a number is to set it up in the equation:

6/100 = x/700 where 6 is the percentage of 700 (out of 100 because you can only get up to 100 percent in this case) and x is 6 percent of 700. when you cross multiply, you get 100x = 4200. Then you divide both sides by 100 to get x by itself. This will give you x = 42 Add this to 700 for 742 as the total amount that will be paid. Sorry if this first half was a little confusing

Answer:

I assume Josh and Peyton are his friends and both gave him advice on what to do with half of the money from the big lottery win.

Let's say Josh said "save it or invest it for your retirement" and Peyton said "use it to keep playing the lottery.

We will now look at the sense in each piece of advice!

Step-by-step explanation:

JOSH

By investing the $250,000 (half of the money won), Patrick will be sure that the money is available for him anytime and would even have gotten interest, by the time he's ready to use it.

PEYTON

By playing the lottery continuously, Patrick could get lucky once in a while and win big again. How big though?

Analyzing with the figures given,

$20 gets Patrick a lottery ticket.

$250,000 will get him 12,500 lottery tickets!

Whether he's buying the tickets at once or he'll play the lottery once in a while, I'll say he has good chances of winning big again.

So if the probability of winning big after purchasing up to 12,500 tickets is close to 1, Patrick should play the lottery with the $250,000

If the probability of winning big after purchasing 12,500 lottery tickets is close to 0 (closer to 0 than it is to 1) then Patrick should invest the $250,000 in retirement.
