Howdy,
20% is also 1/5 in fraction form, which tells us he spent 1/5 of his money on clothes:
So to solve, we have to multiply 50 by 5:
50 x 5 = 250
Rocco's original savings was $250
Hope this helps! <span />
Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
I got it correct on edginuity
Problem 1
<h3>Answer: 2/5</h3>
--------------------------
Explanation:
There are 4 green blocks out of 4+6 = 10 total. We divide the number of green over the number total to get the answer. Reduce the fraction as much as possible. The fraction 4/10 reduces to 2/5 (we divide both parts by 2).
====================================================
Problem 2
<h3>Answer: 1/6</h3>
--------------------------
Explanation:
The probability the spinner lands on red is 2/6 = 1/3. This is because there are 2 spaces that are red out of 6 total. It helps to reduce as much as possible.
The probability the coin lands on heads is 1/2 because there's 1 side labeled heads out of 2 total.
Multiply the fractions: 1/3 * 1/2 = 1/6
This works because both events are independent.
