I think the answer is the first option
Answer:
A school wanted to see how many students bought orange juice with their lunch. As a result, they sampled 100 lunch-buying students, to see how many of them bought orange juice. In a sample of 100 lunch-buying students, 25 of them bought orange juice with their lunches. If there are 1,000 students in the school that buy lunch, how many students bought orange juice with their food? 250.
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming there's no visual included in the question, and that the example can be completely original.
If you wanted a ratio, you would ask what the ratio was between students that bought lunch and students that bought orange juice with their lunches (often asked in lowest terms).
- Sample included 100:25
- You want it in lowest terms. Find the lowest common denominator
- LCD = 5
- New ratio, divided by five to find lowest terms
- = 20:5
- Every 20 students, 5 of them (also 25% of them) bought orange juice with their lunches.
I think it is 26 sorry if I’m wrong
Answer:
£160,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Alice bought the house in 2008 for £x.
In 2014, the house sold for a 20% profit, so it sold for 1.2x. (* see explanation below)
In 2019, the house sold for a 5% loss, so it sold for 0.95(1.2x). (* see explanation below)
In 2019, it sold for £182,400.
0.95(1.2x) = 182,400
1.14x = 182,400
x = 182,400/1.14
x = 160,000
Answer: £160,000
* Explanation of 1.2 and 0.95.
A quick way to apply a percent increase or decrease to a number is to using the following method. The number you start with is 100% of the number. If you are adding a percent to it, then add the percent to 100% and convert it to a decimal. If you are subtracting the percent, then subtract the percent from 100% and convert to a decimal. Then multiply the decimal by the original number to find the increased or decreased number.
Example of percent increase:
A book used to cost £10. The price went up by 12%. What is the new price?
100% + 12% = 112% = 1.12
1.12 * £10 = £11.20
Example of percent decrease:
A pair of trousers costs £60. It is on sale at 35% off the regular price. What is the sale price?
100% - 35% = 65% = 0.65
0.65 * £60 = £39
