Step-by-step explanation:

Since, smith receives 60% of the vote this means murphy must receive 40% of the vote. Therefore 15 = 40% of the total vote.

Thus total vote = 37.5, which is kind of absurd. As total vote count must be an integer. Moreover, the report must be consistent with the result, which does not seem in this case.

This recipe makes 20 cupcakes. Deepak only wants to make 15 cupcakes. How much of each ingredient does he need? Recipe: Makes 20
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

9.6 ounces of butter, 8 ounces of sugar, 12 ounces of flour, 4 eggs

Explanation: 20 / 16 = 4/5. 16 is four-fifths of 20. So multiply 4/5 with everything.

12 * 4/5 = 9.6 ounces

10 * 4/5 = 8 ounces

15 * 4/5 =  12 ounces

5 * 4/5 = 4 eggs

Lucy’s chocolate bar is 54% cocoa. If the weight of the chocolate bar is 54 grams, how many grams of cocoa does it contain? Roun
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The chocolate bar contains 29.2 grams of cocoa.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Lucy’s chocolate bar is 54% cocoa and the weight of the chocolate bar is 54 grams.

Hence, the amount of cocoa in the chocolate bar is given by

54% of 54 grams

54% percentage means 54/100 = 0.54

Hence, the amount of cocoa in the chocolate bar is

0.54\times54\\=29.16

When rounded to the nearest tenth, 29.16 should be equal to 29.2

Hence, the chocolate bar contains 29.2 grams of cocoa.
