Answer:

Cash = 240, Credit = 330, Gift = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

We know from this the precentage  of people using different payment methods

Cash = 40/100 = 40%

Credit card = 55/100 = 55%

Gift card = 5%

We can then find the number of people using each method regardless of total amount of people

Cash = 40% * 600 = 240

Credit = 55% * 600 = 330

Gift card = 5% * 600 = 30

Total = 240 + 30 + 330= 600

Answer:

240

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion.  Out of 100 people, 40 people paid with cash.  Out of 600 people,  x people paid with cash.

\frac{40}{100} =\frac{x}{600}

Cross multiply and solve for x.

24000 = 100x\\24000/100=100x/100\\240 =x\\x=240

240 customers paid with cash.

Solve the following equation: *<br> -9 (t – 2) = 4(t – 15)
iragen [17]

Answer:

6 =t

Step-by-step explanation:

-9 (t – 2) = 4(t – 15)

Distribute

-9t +18 = 4t -60

Add 9t to each side

-9t +18+9t  = 4t+9t -60

18 = 13t -60

Add 60 to each side

18+60 = 13t-60+60

78 = 13t

Divide each side by 13

78/13 = 13t/13

6 =t

Matters has 456:8 What s his rate
Olegator [25]

We are given ratio 456:8.

The given ratio can be written in fraction form as \frac{456}{8}

In order to find the rate, we need to divide 456 by 8, because it would give the unit value.

When we divide 456 by 8, we first take multiple of 8 closer to the number 45.

8*6=48 but it's greater than 45, so we would take 8*5 =40.

Subtracting 40 from 45, we get 5.

Getting 6 down, we get 56. Take multiple of 8 upto 56.

8*7= 56.

56 -56=0.

So, on dividing 456 by 8 we got 57.

Therefore, rate is 57 per unit.
