In order to express 0.45 as a common fraction, all you have to do is first divide 45 to 100. So in order to get the answer to this, you just have to put 45 as the numerator and 100 as the denominator. This will become 45/100. To turn it into its simple form, you have to first ask yourself what is a common divisible number for the two. 5 can be divided by 45 and 100 so 5 can be used. So the final answer, if you make it into simplest form, will be 9/20
Too many questions to be typed out ... I did it on the paper instead.
The answer is -21 I just took the test
Answer:
Susie made the error when she subtracted 2.
The best way to go about this questions is to write out a formula in which x represents the original price of the dress: x*0.90=27. To see where the 0.90 came from, if Kate's dress was 10% off, she must have paid 90% of the original price (100%-10%=90%). Then, to convert a percentage to a decimal, move the decimal point twice to the left so 90% becomes 0.90. Then, our formula essentially means that 90% of some number (x) is equal to 27. To solve for x, divide both sides of the formula by 0.90 to get x=$30 which is the final answer.
I hope this helps.
