Set up a proportion: x/y = x/y
(.75)/(15) = (x)/(25)
Then cross multiply:
(.75)(25) = (15)(x)
18.75 = 15x
x = 1.25 or (5/4)
There you go :)
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Factors B, C and E are totally irrelevant.
Answer:
1 and 17/25
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you make it into a fraction. So because percents are out of 100, it would be 168/100. Then, you take 100 out of it to get a mixed number, 1 and 68/100, and then simplify 68/100 by dividing both sides by the greatest common factor, which is 4. 68/100÷4=17/25. The answer would be 1 and 17/25.

Answer:
33 children
62 adults
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up 2 equations (a=adults c=children)
The first equation will be 3.25(a)+3 = 300.5
The second equation will be a + c = 95
Subtract c from both sides to get:
a = 95 - c
Replace c in the 1st equation to get:
3.25(95-c) + 3c = 300.5
Distribute 3.25 to 95 and -c:
308.75 - 3.25c + 3c = 300.5
Subtract 308.75 from both sides:
-3.25c + 3c = 300.5 - 308.75
Combine like terms:
-0.25c = -8.25
Divide by -0.25
children = 33
Subtract 33 from 95 to get
adults = 62
