Before you start working on this problem, make sure you know
how to use a couple of the tools in your toolbox:
Tool #1: 37-1/2 percent means 0.375
Tool #2: In math problems, "of" almost always means "times".
====================================
Your question says
"37-1/2 percent of blank is 36".
Translate it with your tools:
0.375 times blank = 36 .
Divide each side by 0.375: Blank = 36 / 0.375 .
Now grab your pencil or your calculator, and find the value of that
fraction (do the division). Blank is equal to the value of the fraction.
To check your answer (find out whether it's correct):
Do exactly what the question says.
Multiply (0.375) times (your answer). If you get 36,
then your answer is correct. If not, it's not.
340 = 255
100 = ?
100 times 255 = 25500
25500 divided by 340 is 75

He is wrong...
2 1/2 + 3 3/5 = 97/20
Simplified, I believe the answer is 4 17/20
Answer:
The cost of parking the car for 1 hour = $2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of parking car for two hours = $5
Now, let the cost of parking the car for one hour be $x
Since, the car is parked for two hours and the cost charged is $5
So, each hour the cost of parking is same ⇒ Cost of parking one hour is half the cost of parking the car for two hours.
Since, the cost of parking the car for one hour = $x
So, cost of parking the car for two hours = 2x
But this cost is given to be $5
⇒ 2x = 5
⇒ x = 2.5
Hence, The cost of parking the car for 1 hour = $2.5
Answer:
Multiply by 2 because if 6÷3=2, same for 24÷12=2
