12% of 120 is 14.4
Change the percentage into a decimal by dividing over 100:
12 / 100 = 0.12
Multiply:
0.12 × 120 = 14.4
Answer:
2.625 cups or 21 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
Ava needs 3/4 cup of blue paint for every 1 cup of white paint. So, the ratio is 0.75 : 1.
She has 28 ounces of white paint. But, you have to convert ounces to cups.
1 cup = 8 ounces
28 ounces ÷ 8 ounces/cup = 3.5 cups
Now set up a ratio.

X (how much blue paint is needed) is over 3.5 cups (the amount of white paint she has)
Cross multiply and divide.

x = 0.75 × 3.5
x = 2.625 cups
To convert to ounces, multiply by 8.
2.625 cups × 8 ounces = 21 ounces
Therefore, Ava needs 2.625 cups or 21 ounces of blue paint.
Hope that helps.
A) .10 d + .25 q = 7.75
B) d + q = 40
Multiplying B) by -.10
B) -.10d -.10q = -4.0
Then adding this to A)
A) .10 d + .25 q = 7.75
.15q = 3.75
Quarters = 25
Therefore, dimes = 15
***************************************************
Double-Check
A) .10 d + .25 q = 7.75
A) .10 * 15 d + .25 * 25 = 7.75
A) 1.50 + 6.25 = 7.75
Correct!!
Answer:
Move all terms that don't contain x to the right side and solve.
x = −2
You would have more than $102.
Earning 2% a year in interest would get you $2 in interest the very first year:
100(0.02) = 2
Adding this to the amount in the account, you would have 100+2 = 102 after the first year.
