Answer: $156.86
Step by Step:
136.40 x .15 = 20.46
136.40 + 20.46 = 156.86
5. 80, 16/.2=80
6. 679, 750-70.75
7. 7.82, 10-2.18
8. 36.07, 29.62+1.29+ 1.29+ 1.29+ 1.29+ 1.29
Let l, t, b represent the numbers of lions, tigers, bears, respectively.
2l +3t +3b = 156 . . . . . . . 156 meals per day are supplied
l +t = 3b . . . . . . . . . . . . . . there are 3 times as many great cats as bears
l +t +b = 68 . . . . . . . . . . . there are a total of 68 animals
_____
The last 2 equations tell you
.. 4b = 68
.. b = 17
Subtracting 3 times the last equation from the first gives
.. -l = -48
There are 48 lions, 3 tigers, and 17 bears.
Percentage of a number.
$49,000 x .127 = $6,223 is the decrease
$49,000 - $6,223 = $42,777
