0.5 times 16 equals 8 so that’s 276 messages 0.5 to get 40 cents is 8 more so 276 messages in all I hope I did this right

The answer is 267.

If we wanted to represent this scenario as an equation, it would be 22.40-14+.5x (x being the amount of texts after 250). We are using PEMDAS, but because the variable is unknown, we skip multiplication and just go left to right. 22.40 - 14 = 8.40. With 8.40, we now know how much it costed AFTER 250 messages (how much she owes after $14). If we want to find how many PER 50 cents, we have to DIVIDE (reverse of multiplication). 8.4 / .5 = 16.80. Because you can't send .8 of a text message, you round to get 17. 250 + 17 = 267 (messages sent that month).

300 is what percent of 1200
Nadya [2.5K]
Two ways:

\frac{300}{1200} = \frac{1}{4}  and 1/4 = 25%

Another way.

300 = n% of 1200
Problem - we can't move n% back two place to change it to a decimal since we don't know what n is.   Solution - move the decimal back on the 1200 two places because since of means x, it doesn't matter.   Sample .45 x 32 = 45 x .32  Notice that the decimal can be place on either number and it results in the same answer.

So 300 = 12n   (1200 moved back 2 places)
    now divide by 12
<u>300</u>  = <u>12n
</u>12       12       and once again n=25(%)<u>
