If 5 biscuits cost 40p
1 biscuit would cost (40p divided by 5) 8p
8p multiplied by 3 (to get 3 biscuits) would cost 24p
3 biscuits cost 24p
Answer:
no it's not correct it's wrong
40 percent 3/5 equals 60, 5/5 equals 100, 100-60 equals 40 percent
he ran 8 * 1.5 = 12 miles
the bus went : 55 * 24/60 = 22 miles
12 +22 = 34 miles total
