Answer:

$48

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Money spent on clothing last month = $40

Money spent this month is 120% of the spending of the last month.

To find:

A proportion to model this situation.

And the spending done this month?

Solution:

Let us have a look at 120% first.

120\%= \dfrac{120}{100} = \dfrac{6}{5}

\frac{6}{5} of x can be found by comparing x with 5, then we have to find the equivalent of 6.

Here, x is 40.

5 parts are equivalent to 40

1 part is equivalent to \frac{40}{5} = 8

6 parts are equivalent to 8\times 6 = 48

OR

simply:

40 \times \dfrac{120}{100} = 48

in 2001, the population in a town was 12% more than it was in 2000. if the population was 25,160 in 2002, which is 10% more than
blagie [28]
2002=25,160
2001=22,644
2000=19,926.72 (need to round to 19,926)
2001:
25,160/10=2516
25,160-2516

2000:
22,644/10=2,264.4 (10%)
2,264.4/5=452.88 (2%)
2,264.4+452.88=2717.28 (12%)
22,644-2717.28=19.926.72

simon makes 30 cakes gives 1/5 of the cakes to sali. He gives 10% of the 30 cakes to jane what fraction of the fake cakes does h
dexar [7]

Total number of cakes made by Simon = 30 cakes.

Number of cakes gave to Sali = 1/5 Of total cakes = 1/5 * 30 = 6 cakes.

Number of the cakes gave to Jane = 10% of 30 cakes

10% can be written as 10/100 in fracions and in decimals it would be 0.10.

Therefore, 10% of 30 cakes = 0.10 times 30 = 3 cakes.

Total number of cakes left = Total cakes made - Cakes gave to Sali - Cakes gave to Jane = 30-6-3

Therefore, Total number of cakes left = 21.

21 cakes left our of 30 cakes.

21 out of 30 could be written in fracion form as 21/30.

We can reduce this fracion in simplest form by dividing top and bottom by 3, we get

7/10.

Therefore, 7/10 fraction of the cakes does he have left.
