Always use this formula to find a percentage:
<span>% / 100 = Part / Whole</span> replace the given values:
40 / 100 = Part / 150
Cross multiply:
40 x 150 = 100 x Part, or
6000 = 100 x Part
Now, divide by 100 and get the answer:
Part = 6000 / 100 = <span>60</span>
28800 quarts per hour because 120 times 4 equals 480 and 480 times 60 equals 28800
This would be much, much, much easier if you told us
what numbers you do have on each side of the scale now.
The idea (probably) is that the scale is balanced when
the numbers add up to the same amount on both sides.
So you need to put some numbers in the blanks that will either
add more to the side that has less, or subtract some from the side
that has more, to make both sides equal.
The answer would be A) $79.20
(220*.4).9 as 60 percent off means that the product is only 40 percent of its original value, furthermore, we multiply the entire thing by .9
