So for this you need to find 15% of 60. There are a few ways to do this but I prefer to do it like this.
First, find 10% of 60. This can be found by dividing 60 by 10, because 100%/10% is 10.
This gives 10%=6
5% is half of 10%, so divide your answer for 10% (6), by 2.
This gives 5%=3
We needed 15%, so we add our 10% and 5% together, to get 9.
15% of 60 is 9, meaning there are 9 puppies.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
26.7
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the answer because 26.7/20 = (16+26.7)/32
When two triangles are similar, it means their sides are also proportional. The reason why it is not ten is because you need to add 10 to 16 to the large triangle as well, which no longer makes it proportional.
To solve, you create a formula.
(16+x)/32=x/20
Multiply both sides by 32 to get rid of the 32 in the left side.
16+x=32x/20
Multiply both sides by 20 to get rid of the 20 right side.
320+20x=32x
-20x on both sides to get all the variables on one side and all the nukbers on the other.
320=12x
Divide both sides by 12 to get x by itself
x=26.66667
Speed = distance / time
speed = 135/3 = 45 miles per hr <==
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiplying or dividing each part of the ratio gives an equivalent ratio
Given
8 : 20 ← divide both parts by 2
= 4 : 10 ← divide both parts by 2
= 2 : 5 ← ratio in simplest form
Multiply both parts by 2
8 : 20 = 16 : 40
4 : 10, 2 : 5, 16: 40 ← are possible equivalent ratios
52.25 x 0.08 = 4.18
So the tax is $4.18, and the total cost is $56.43
