Hello! So, the jeans are 20% off of the original price. While she gets 20% off of the jeans, she still has to pay 80% of the price. To find out the discount price, multiply 38 by 80% (0.8). 38 * 0.8 is 30.4 $30.40 is the discount price. There is 5% tax on the item. First off, let's add 1 to the rate. 5% is 0.05 in decimal form. 1 + 0.05 is 1.05. We add 1 to the percentage rate, because adding that and multiplying that amount will bring us straight to the new price. Now, multiply 30.4 and 1.05 together to get the new price. When you do, you get 31.92. $31.92 is the price of the jeans. 31.92 < 32.50. Jackie has enough money to buy the jeans.
Because the ratio of women to children is 10:1, double the ratio of men to women so the women are both 10:
Men to women becomes 8:10
Now total the 3 ratios: 8 for men, 10, for women and 9 for children:
8 + 10 + 9 = 27
Divide total people by that number:
270/27 = 10
Multiply 10 by each ratio:
Men = 8 * 10 = 80
Women = 10 * 10 = 100
Children = 9 *10 = 90
There is 80 men.
