Mary spent $15. If this was 20% of her earrings, how much money did she earned?

1 answer:

4 0

Hi, I'm happy to help!

First off, we need to arrange an equation for what is being asked. 15 is 20% of her earnings and we don't know her total earnings.

15=20%×__

We can write this percentage as

15=0.2×__

We then change the equation to do the inverse operation, which is division, this makes it easier to solve.

15÷0.2=__

Now, we solve

15÷0.2=75

<u>She earned $75</u>

<u></u>

I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D

5. AC bisects Angle BAD. Find the measure of angle BAC.

alukav5142 [94]

If AC bisects < BAD, it means it cuts it into 2 equal parts

so < BAC = < CAD

3x + 12 = 5x
12 = 5x - 3x
12 = 2x
12/2 = x
6 = x

< BAC = 3x + 12.......3(6) + 12 = 30 degrees <===
