Answer:

She returned 5 gifts.

Step-by-step explanation:

36 gifts is 60% = 0.6 of all the gifts that she received. How many presents are 100% = 1?

36 gifts - 0.6

x gifts - 1

0.6x = 36

x = 36/0.6

x = 60

She received 60 gifts.

She opened the rest of the gifts and found that 25% of them were the same present

The rest is 60 - 36 = 24 gifts.

25% is (1/4)*24 = 6 duplicate figts

She returned all but one of the duplicate gifts.

That is, she returned 6 - 1 = 5 gifts.

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3 hours * 60 = 180 minutes

40 pages / 50 minutes = x pages / 180 minutes

40/50 = x/180

cross multiply

50x = 40 * 180

50x = 7200

x = 7200 ÷ 50

x = 144
