Answer: 64.29%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total earnings of the Lee family in May be x
Amount earned by Mr Lee in May = 60% of x = 0.6x
Amount earned by other family members in May = x - 0.6x (total earnings - Mr Lee's earnings) = 0.4x
Amount earned by Mr Lee in June = 20% more than what Mr Lee earned in May.
That is, amount earned by Mr Lee in June = 1.2 × 0.6x = 0.72x
Amount earned by other members of the family in June remains unchanged, that is = 0.4x
Total amount earned by the Lee family in June = 0.72x + 0.4x = 1.12x
Percentage of total earnings in June earned by Mr. Lee = (0.72x/1.12x) × 100% = 64.29%.
QED!
When expanding number, we should separate the numbers according to the places like the number 275 written in expanded form 200+70+5. So, in this question we must likely done like this. The number is 39,005 the sum that is written on expanded form is 30,000+9,000+5.
Answer:
4 cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of cookies he sold be c and that of brownies be b.
Assuming that brownies and cookies are the only type of baked goods sold,
b +c= 10 -----(1)
Amount of money received= $20
b(cost of brownie) +c(cost of cookie)= $20
2.50b +1.25c= 20 -----(2)
From (1): b= 10 -c -----(3)
Substitute (3) into (2):
2.50(10 -c) +1.25c= 20
Expand:
2.50(10) +2.50(-c) +1.25c= 20
25 -2.50c +1.25c= 20
-1.25c +25= 20
Being constants to 1 side:
-1.25c= 20 -25
-1.25c= -5
c= -5 ÷(-1.25)
c= 4
Thus, Joe sold 4 cookies.
