Essentially, we must take 5% of $1250. When we drop the percent sign, we move the decimal 2 places to the left, giving .05. Then "of" means multiply. We take $1250 and multiply times .05, giving
<span>$62..50 </span>
<span>Another way to do it is to take 10%, or $125. </span>
<span>Then 5% is half of that. Half of $125 is $62.50 We can do that by dividing $125 by 2. I did it in my head. Others might do it on paper. Still others might have a calculator handy and say $125 divided by 2 on the calculator. We should all get the same answer unless one person spaces out or is tired. It happens!</span>
Answer:
7.75
Step-by-step explanation:
1 mg = 0.001 g

0.31 g * 250 = 7.75 grams per 250 staples
You simply put 40 over a hundred and 55 over n (which is the number were trying to find) so you do cross multiplication. 55 times a hundred and after you get the answer. You divide it by 40 and should get 137.5.
