Well first you would set up your ratio, 17/x = 35/100. You are trying to find x. To do so you cross multiply and divide. So first you have 17× 100 which equals 1700. The you divide that number by 35 which is around 48 like you said. I usually just round to the hundredths place so just cut it at 48.57 but to be safe say approximately 48.57
Your answer is D.
The jeans are 40% off (because you add 20% more).
And the original cost of the jeans is $30.
You could have done:
30 · 0.40 = 12 (Find 40% of $30, then subtract 30 by 40% of 30 to get the new sale price]
30 - 12 = 18
1 - 0.40 = 0.60 (You subtract 1 by 0.40 to get 0.60, which is the % of the original price that you have to pay)
30 · 0.60 = 18
Answer:
-415 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
-300-115 = -415
This problem can be represented in a formula with fractions. To make it more simple, we are converting 5m30s to just pure seconds, which = 154 copies in 330 seconds.
You set up the formula like this: 154/330 = x/60. (it is x/60 because you want to know the x amount of copies per 60 seconds)
Cross multiply, you get 330x = 9240. Divide both sides by 330, you get:
x = 28 copies.
The final answer is 28 copies per minute
