Let's convert this fraction to an equal fraction which holds a denominator of 100, since it is a power of 10.
Since the denominator can be multiplied by 5 to achieve 100, we can multiply the entire fraction by 5 to create an equivalent fraction that has a denominator of 100:
17/20 = (17*5)/(20*5) = 85/100
To obtain a decimal from this fraction, take the numerator and move its decimal one place to the left for every 0 in the denominator. Since our denominator has two zeros, we will need to move the decimal place on the 85 two places to the left.
This gives us an answer of .85, which can also be expressed as 0.85.
Answer:
C. 150
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of people who took the test is unknown, so call it x.
34% of x liked the flavor.
51 people liked the flavor.
That means that 34% of x is equal to 51.
34% of x = 51
0.34x = 51
x = 51/0.34
x = 150
Answer: C. 150
A recipe calls for 1/2 a cup of flour per batch of cookies, but the chef only wants to make 2/3 of a batch. How much flour should the chef add?
Answer: $112.50 ; $4612.5
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Determine how much interest Christine paid at the end of 1 year.
This will be:
Simple interest = PRT/100
where
P = principal = $4500
R = rate = 2.5%
T = time = 1 year
Interest = (4500 × 2.5 × 1)/100
= 11250/100
= $112.50
b) Determine the total amount Christine will repay the bank at the end of 1 year.
Total amount = Principal + Interest
= $4500 + $112.50
= $4612.5
