Answer:

$1,200

Step-by-step explanation:

78 divided by 6.5=12

With percents you have to multiply to get out of 100 so:

12x100=1,200

78 divided by 6.5%=1,200

Answer:

$1200

Step-by-step explanation:

$1200

Step-by-step explanation:

78 = 6.5%

This means that if you divide 78 by 6.5, you get the equivalent of 1% of the price:

78 ÷ 6.5 = 12

So 1% = 12

Now simply multiply this by 100 to get the full answer:

12 x 100 = 1200

So the camera cost $1200!

Interpreting the situation, it is found that Marjorie will have 240 left after paying her penalty.

---------------------

When the piece lands on the red square, the penalty is equal to 30 times the sum they roll on two numbers.
Marjorie rolls 4 and 2, thus, the sum is 6.
The penalty is of $6 \times 30 = 180$
She currently has 420, the penalty removes 180, thus, she will have 420 - 180 = 240 left after paying her penalty.
