Let assume
E for center city East parking
W for center city west parking
So
E+W=1215……..* but
E =W+253 substitute this in *
w+253+w=1215
2W =1215-253
2W=962 divide both sides by 2
W =481(capacity of west parking garage)
To find E(capacity of East parking garage)
E=W+ 253 so
E=481+253
E=734 (capacity of East parking garage)
$1200 / 22.5% = 1200 / 0.225= 5333.33
Proof: How much is 22.5% of $5333.33? --> 5333.33 x 0.225 = 1200
The dollar value of the item is $5333.33.
The riddle given by Dr. Watson to Sherlock Holmes is:
217 is to 335
896 is to 543
345 is to ____
We need to find the missing number of the third pair of the riddle. This is a ratio and proportion problem.
217/ 335 = 896/ 543 = 345 / x
The value of x is 209.
