Answer:

$58.5 (profit)

Step-by-step explanation:

Ariana bought 5 dozen pears at $36 per dozen.

The value of 1 dozen = $ 36

Her buying amount = $36 * 5 = $180

The value of 1 pear = $ 36/12

= $3

The value of 7 pears=  $3 * 7 = $21

She sold the remaining (53) at $4.50 each.

Her, selling amount = $4.50 * 53

= $238.50

Her profit amount = selling amount - buying amount

= $238.50 - $180

= $58.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1 dozen = 12 pears

12 pears = $36

1 pear = 36/12 = $3

Total Cost of Pears = No. of pears x price of 1 pear

= (5x12) x 3

= 60 x 3

= $180

Sale of Pears = Price per pear x (Total Pears bought - Rotten Pears)

= $4.50 x (5x12-7)

= $4.50 x 53

= $238.50

Profit/Loss = Sale of Pears - Total Cost of Pears

= $238.50 - $180

= $58.50

Ariana made a profit of $58.50.

About 4/10 of the population has blood type O+. What percent of the population has blood type O+?
fenix001 [56]

If 4/10 of the population have blood type O+, that means 40% of the population have that blood type. To change a fraction to percent, the easiest way is to make the denominator 100. To do this, multiply the whole fraction by 1 (1/1, 2/2, etc). In this case, multiply by 10/10. 4/10 * 10/10 is equal to 40/100. Then, if you have a denominator of 100, the numerator is the percent. Therefore, 40/100 is 40%.
