Answer:

a) 5%

b) 24%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) You buy a game for $40, and the sales tax is $2. What percent of the game price are you paying in sales tax?

Percentage you are paying in sales tax

= Sales tax / Sale price of the game × 100

= $2/$40 × 100

= 5%

b) Your doctor told you to eat 25 grams of fiber each day. You had 6 grams of fiber for breakfast. What percent of the 25 grams of fiber have you eaten so far?

The percent of 25 grams of fiber you have eaten so far =

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

She earns that day $103.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets explain how to solve the question

- She is paid $12.50 per hour between 8 am and 4 pm

- After 4 pm she is paid $14.25 per hour

- She works one particular day from 10 am to 6 pm

* Lets distribute her time of work into two part according to her

 payment above

# 1st part from 10 am to 4 pm

∵ She is paid $12.50 per hour between 8 am to 4 pm

∵ She works from 10 am to 4 pm

- Calculate how many hours between 10 am and 4 pm

∵ am and pm not like terms in time, so change the time to 24-hours

∵ 4 pm in 24-hour time is 4 + 12 = 16

∴ She works form 10 to 16

∴ She works for 6 hours (16  - 10 = 6)

∴ She is paid = 12.50 × 6 = $75

# 2nd part after 4 pm to 6 pm

∵ She is paid $14.25 per hour after 4 pm

∵ She works from 4 pm to 6 pm

- Calculate how many hours between 4 pm and 6 pm

∵ Both times are pm

∴ She works for 2 hours (6 - 4 = 2)

∴ She is paid = 14.25 × 2 = $28.5

- Add the two answers of the 1st part and the 2nd part

∴ She earns = 75 + 28.5 = $103.5

* She earns that day $103.5

A woman spent two thirds of her money she lost two thirds the remainder and then had $4 left how much money did she start with
Lisa [10]

Answer

Find out  how much money did she start with.

To proof

let us assume that the money she had be x.

As given

woman spent two thirds of her money

Money\ spent = \frac{2x}{3}

Money she had after spent two thirds of her money  = Total money - money spent

= x - \frac{2x}{3}

= \frac{1x}{3}

As given she lost two thirds the remainder

=\frac{2}{3}\times ( money\ she\ had\ after\ spending\ two\ thirds\ of\ her\ money)

= \frac{2}{3} \times\frac{1x}{3}

we get

=\frac{2x}{9}

Money she had after lost two thirds the remainder = Money she had after spent two thirds of her money - she lost two thirds the remainder

= \frac{1x}{3} - \frac{2x}{9}

= \frac{1x}{9}

As given

she had $4 left

thus

\frac{1x}{9} = 4

x = $36

she start with $36.

Hence proved
