There is 75% of shirts left to do, split over 5 days, you can divide 75 by 5 to get 15% each day.

As a fraction you need 3/4 to be done over 5/1 days

divide 3/4 divided by 5/1

copy, change, flip

3/4   x    1/5

3x1=3
4x5=20 that's 3/20 if you divided that into a percentage its also 15% so you know you're right. 

For part 2, that's simple because you can decide if 40 shirts includes the 1/4 you already did.  In that case find out what 40/4 is.  That's 10.  If you did 10, you need to do 30 more.  That would mean that 30/5 because there is 5 days.  30/5 is 6.  6 would be for 1 day, you need to know 2.  That's 12. 

If 40 does not include the 1/4 you already did, and it's 40 remaining.  You'd have to do 40/5 which is 8.  Then 8x2 is 16. 

But I think the other person is correct, it would be 40 total so it should be 12 shirts.

A. If she completed 1/4, 3/4 are still left to be done over 5 days.
To find out how much per day, divide 3/4 by 5 (multiply the first number by the reciprocal of the second).
3/4*1/5= 3/20.

Final answer: 3/20

b. If she irons 3/20 a day, she should iron 6/20 or 3/10 over the course of two days, Thursday and Friday. 3/10 of 40 is 40*0.3= 12

Final answer: 12 shirts

A bag of corn tortilla chips costs 2.89 after a 15% discount. What is the original price?
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

3.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the bag be = P, the selling price =2.89 after a 15% discount,

Then, Selling price= Original price- Discount on original price

2.89=P-P(0.15)

2.89=P(1-0.15)

2.89=0.85P

P=\frac{2.89}{0.85}

P=3.4

Thus, the original price was 3.4.

Roger served 5/8 pound of cracker wich was 2/3 of the entire box what was the weight of the crackers originally in the box
horrorfan [7]
Answer:
original weight of the box = 15 / 16 pounds

Explanation:
Assume that the original amount in the box is x.
We are given that:
5/8 pounds represent 2/3 of the total amount (x).
This can be translated into the following equation:
(2/3) x = 5 / 8

Now, we will solve for x as follows:
(2/3) x = 5 / 8
Multiply both sides by 24 to get rid of the denominators as follows:
(2/3) x * 24 = (5 / 8) * 24
16 x = 15
Divide both sides by 16 to isolate the x as follows:
x = 15 / 16 pounds

Hope this helps :)
