Answer 1

Answer:

12. C. 40 more students chose baseball than basketball

20. 500 total flowers

Step-by-step explanation:

12. To find the number of students that chose baseball, we multiply 25% by 800 students surveyed. First we have to convert 25% to a decimal = 0.25

800 x 0.25 = 200 students chose baseball.

Then, for basketball, 20% of students chose that, so 20% = 0.20

800 x 0.2 = 160 students chose basketball

200-160 = 40 more students chose baseball than basketball

----------------------------

20. I don't know what your "magic sentence" looks like. You can set this up as a ratio, where x is the total number of flowers, and the 56% is a fraction of 56/100

280/x = 56/100

then cross multiply

28,000 = 56x

divide by 56

x = 500

Check the math: 500 x 0.56 = 280

If you want to tell me what your teacher's "magic sentence" looks like in the comments, I can try to fill it in with/for you.
