9 dived by 3 = 3
so he surfed for 3 hours = 1/3 of 9
and there are 6 hours left
so he spent 6 hours building a sandcastle
$40,000
Let x be the sales amount.
600+0.02x=1000+0.01x
x=$40,000
The correct answer is $40,000.
32,000 = 80% of 40,000
I do not think we need to rewrite the first two numbers in the given above because they are already the simplest forms of themselves being whole numbers. However, the third number may be rewritten as 1/2 by dividing both numerator and denominator by 5 and the last one as 2/25 by dividing both numerator and denominator by 4.
Assume that you only include whole numbers (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) and not 3.5 and such
so if 1 is odd and less than 5 then it is
1 or 3, since 5 isn't included
then the other number, to be less than 5 when added,
must be
1+x<5
3+x<5
solve each
1+x<5
subtract 1
x<4
set of answers are 1,2,3
3+x<5
subtract 3
x<2
set of answer is 1
so the possible numbers are
1,2,3
that is 3 numbesr out of 9 so
probability=(total desired outcomes)/(total possible outcomes) so
disred outcomes=3
total possible=9
3/9=1/3
the probabiltiy is 1/3
