Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

So we first subtract 25% from 100% so we can see what percent 15 is:

100 - 25 = 75 so 15 is 75% of ___:

This gives us a standard percentage problem, so:

75% = 0.75

we can rewrite the equation as a one-step equation:

15 = 0.75a

Dividing both sides by 0.75 and swapping sides gives

a = 15 ÷ 0.75 = 20

So the original price of the hat was $20

OR

because 25% is 1/4, and 75% is 3/4 and 15 is therefore 3/4:

15 ÷ 3 = 5

5 x 4 = 20

Able, Ben and Cal each played a game able’s score was six times ben’s score, Cale score was a hird time of Able’s score write do
Feliz [49]

Answer:

6:1:2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = Able's score, b = Ben's score, and c = Cal's score.

Since

Able's score was 6 times Ben's score, that means a = 6b.

Cal's score was a third of Able's score, so that means c = a/3. And since a = 6b, that means c = 6b / 3 = 2b.

Thus, the ratio of Able's score to Ben's score to Cal's score, a:b:c, is 6:1:2, because c is twice as much as b and a is 6 times as much as b.
