Find 5.25% of 200
remember
1% of 100=1
therefor
1% of 200=2
just remove the decimal and double it (for this special case of finding percent of 200)
5.25% of 200=5.25 times 2=10.5
answer is 10.5 pounds of copper
(the legit way is 0.0525 times 200=10.5 pound)
10.5lb is answer
Complete question :
Harry fills up his Jeep with gasoline and notes that the odometer reading is 23,568.7 miles. The next time he fills up his Jeep, he pays for 12.6 gallons of gasoline. He notes his odometer reading is 23,706.3 miles. How many miles per gallon did he get?
Answer:
10.9 miles per gallon
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Odometer reading when filled up with gasoline = 23,568.7 miles
Odometer reading with 12.6 gallons of gasoline = 23,706.3 miles
Miles per gallon gotten :
(Current Odometer reading - reading when filled up) / gallon of gasoline
(23706.3 - 23568.7) / 12.6
= 10.920634
= 10.9 miles per gallon
Its the last option because anything between 0 to 1 would he smaller than the original
