Given ratio: 5 (goats) : (to) 8 (sheep.)

The question asked that if Giles had 32 sheep, then how many goats would he have. We can figure out how many goats he would have by cross multiplying fractions.

5    z
-  x  -
8  32

To figure out the z variable, we simply cross multiply 5 and 32, which gets us 160. Now we divide it by 8. Whatever we get for z, that is our answer for goats. The answer would be <span>20.

Answer: Mary makes $1160, Steven makes $142.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Facts

MARY

8% commision on everything she sells

She sells a car for $14,500

The first question about Mary asks how much commision she makes. To find that, lets find 8% of 14,500

8% of 14,500= 0.08x14,500= 1160

Therefore, Mary makes $1,160 in commision.

STEVEN

Facts

He makes 15% in commision for the supplies he sells

He sells $950 in supplies

Money made =?

15% of 950=0.15x950=$142.50
