Set up a proportion.
Let x = the number of students in 29970 who speak 3 or more languages.
285/19 = 29970/x Cross multiply
285 x = 19 * 29970
285x = 569430
x = 569430/285
x = 5415 students speak 3 languages.
Number 3: need more info
Number 4: is 337.5.
- first we need i\to find how much one case costs. $45/2 = $22.5
- next multiply $22.5 x 15 which gets you $337.50
Number 5: is 65%
- 100% divided by 3,100 is .03225806
- then multiply .023225806 by 1085 which gets you 35%
- but because it is asking for the remaining it is 100% - 35% which is 65%
Hey!
Hope this helps...

The first thing we know is that all the answers equal 99, so we cannot cross any answer off, however, what we want to know is what answer (after distribution) looks like 36 + 63...
A.) 11(3 + 6) > 33 + 66
Does 33+66 look like 36+63?
NO
B.) 9(4 + 7) > 36 + 63
Does 36+63 look like 36+63?
YES
C.) 11(4 + 5) > 44 + 55
Does 44+55 look like 36+63?
NO
D.) 3(15 + 18) > 45 + 54
Does 45+54 look like 36+63?
NO
So...
The answer is: B.) 9(4 + 7)
