Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
15 bags for $20 can be represented with 15/20
so x bags for $4 can be represented with x/4
now if you proportion it out (ricochet), 4x15 is 60, 60 divided by 20 is 3, so you can buy 3 bags of potatoes with $4.
OR
you could do 15/20 is 0.75
0.75 times 4 is 3, so $4 can buy you 3 bags.
You never put in what the question was.
It holds the legs up. there is a right angle which is the little box in the 90 degree corner:) the hypotenuse is always the longest part on the triangle which you can not simplify:) so the right triangle has legs that you can simplify:)
<u>old:</u> $16
<u>new:</u> $20
<u>percent increase</u>
-> formula: (new-old / old) x 100
(20-16 / 16) x 100
4/16 x 100
0.25 x 100
answer: 25% increase
