Note: 6 employees means half of the employees contributed $7.75 each.
6 x $7.75 = $46.50.
To find how much money remains to be collected, subtract $46.50 from $100.
So, $100 - $46.50 = $53.50 is the answer.
Answer:
24 blue cars
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a proportion to solve this...
40/5 = x/3 (forty red cars is to five red cars as 'x' number of blue cars is to 3 blue cars)
Now solve by cross multiplying...
120 = 5x
24 = x
Answer:
Its either answer B. or D. Sorry if I'm wrong and I hope this sorta helps.
What I always do to solve this, is find a common factor for each number first.
Usually 4 or 5 works best. I'll use 4.
4 goes into 80 20 times, which means that 4 = 5% of 80.
If 4 = 5%, and 48 = 12 x 4, then 48 must equal 60% of 80.
(Another way to solve this problem is: simplify 48 / 80. This simplifies to 3/5.
3/5 = 60%)!
