Answer:

28.8 or 28 8/10

Step-by-step explanation:

A percentage is out of 100. We have to convert 8 3/4 into a percentage. 8 3/4 can also be written as an improper fraction 35/4. Now we have to make the denominator 100. We already knoe that 4 multiplied by 25 equals 100, then we do the same to the numerator. 35 multiplied by 25 gets us to 125. Now we got 125/100. Now since we converted the fracrion into a percentage, now what we do is divide 36 by 125% and that will get you to 28.8 or 28 8/10.

To double check your answer, you can multiply 28.8 by 125% and you will get 36.

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

10 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

So in order to figure this out you have to work backwards. First, Daniel came and took a cookie. So when he took 1 there were 3 cookies available. Next Christine took one fourth of the cookies, meaning that the 3 available cookies are the remaining 3/4's. When she got there she took 1. Then Beth came and took 1/3. For it to be 3/3 there has to be 1 and 1/3 more cookies. Now there are 5 and 1/3 cookies. Amanda came and ate half of the cookies meaning that the amount of cookies we have now is the other half that she didnt eat. 5 and 1/3 plus 5 and 1/3 is 10 and 2/3. I hope this is correct.
