To find this answer you need to multiply the percent by the total, in this case 15% times 140. Remember to change the percent into a decimal (0.15).
0.15 (140)= 21

it is unreasonable because 4.23 is bigger than 4.135! Look at the 10s place - 1 is smaller than 2, and everything afterwards is irrelevant. There could be as many zeros or any combination of numbers you want, but as long as that tens place is larger (2 vs 1), than it's not reasonable to say 4.2 is smaller!!

Answer:
There are 8 servings per box.
Step-by-step explanation:
Tyler and Eric plan to use 15 boxes of spaghetti for the soccer team's pasta dinner tonight for the players and their families.
It is provided that each box of spaghetti has the same number of servings.
Tyler and Eric will make 120 servings of spaghetti in all.
Compute the number of servings per box as follows:


Thus, there are 8 servings per box.
Let the numbers be x and y, then
2x + y = 47 . . . (1)
x + 3y = 56 . . . (2)
(2) x 2 => 2x + 6y = 112 . . . (3)
(1) - (3) => -5y = -65 => y = -65/-5 = 13
From (2), x + 3(13) = 56 => x = 56 - 39 = 17
The two numbers are 13 and 17.
