Note that: "%" ; or "percent" means "out of 100" ; or "divided by 100" .

Method 1)
15/50 = ?/ 100 ;
Look at the denominators:
50 * (what value?) = 100 ? ; → "100 ÷ 50 = 2" ;
→ 50 * 2 = 100 ;
So: "15/50 = (15*2)/(50*2) = "30/100" ; which is "30%" .
___________________________________________
Method 2:
___________________________________________
"15/50" = (15÷5) / (50÷5) = 3/10 ;
3/10 = (3*10) / (10*10) = 30/100 ; which is: "30%" .
__________________________________________
Method 3: (slight variation of "Method 2" above):
___________________________________________
"15/50" = (15÷5) / (50÷5) = 3/10 ;
3/10 = 0.3 = 0.30 = (0.30 * 100) % = " 30% " .

The complete question is;
A paintball court charges an initial entrance fee plus a fixed price per ball.
P represents the total price (in dollars) as a function of the number of balls used n.
P = 0.80n + 5.50
How much do 10 balls cost?
Answer:
Cost of 10 balls = 8 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that;
total price in dollars is given as a function of the number of balls
p = 0.8n + 5.5
Where n is number of balls.
We are told that the price above is price of number of balls plus entrance fee.
Thus, 5.5 dollars is the entrance fee while 0.8n dollars is the price for n number of balls.
Thus,for 10 balls,
Price of 10 balls will be 0.8 x 10 = 8 dollars

The given polynomial expression is:
Fatau correctly expanded the parenthesis in the first step.
Fatau also correctly grouped the like terms to obtain:
Fatau committed a mistake at the third step.
Instead of obtaining,
He mistakenly got:
Answer: Andrew = 20
Jimmy = 25
Richard = 100
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of Andrew's comic books be y.
Jimmy has five more comic books than Andrew. This means Jimmy has: y+5
Richard has four times as many comic book as jimmy. This means Richard has: 4(y+5) = 4y + 20
Since there are 145 comic books together. This can be rewritten as:
y + (y+5) + (4y+20) = 145
6y+25 = 145
6y = 145 - 25
y = 120/6
y = 20
Andrew has 20 comic books
Jimmy has five more comic books than Andrew. Jimmy has: 20+5 = 25
Richard has: 4y + 20 = 4(20) + 20 = 100
There is not enough information. Do you need an equation?
