<em>Convert percentage to fraction by dividing by 100</em>
16 2/3 = 16 2/3 ÷ 100 = 1/6
16 2/3 % of 96 = 1/6 x 96 = 16
<span>Ans: 16 2/3 % of 96 lamps = 16</span>
Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
We have an original price p
We mark them up by 50%
p + p*50%
Changing to decimal form
p+.50p = 1.5p
The new price is 60 dollars
1.5p = 60
Divide each side by 1.5
1.5p/1.5 = 60/1.5
p =40
The original price is 40
In math, "of" almost always means "times".
"The property" is 7/8 acre.
So "1/4 of the property" means "1/4 times 7/8 acre".
1/4 x 7/8 = (1 x 7) / (4 x 8)
That's 7/32 .
Mr. Lopez hasn't plowed up anything yet, but his plan is to plow up 7/32 acre for his garden.
