Answer:

$57.60

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you want to do is convert 24% to a decimal. To do this you just need to take the current decimal place and move it 2 places to the left. Since this percentage is a whole number the decimal is just after the 4.

(0.24)

Multiply that decimal by the number you want to find the percentage of

$240 * .24 = $57.60

$240 is the 100%
X Is the 24%
So (24x240)/100
5760/100 = $57.60
Or you can just do 240x0.24=$57.60
24% is the same as 0.24
And 100% is the same as 1

I need help! This pattern repeats every 4 terms. The pattern is square, hexagon, trapezoid, triangle. What is the shape in the 7

alina1380 [7]

<h3>Answer: Trapezoid</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

There are two ways to do this problem.

Method 1 involves listing out the terms until we reach the seventh one.

square
hexagon
trapezoid
triangle
square
hexagon
trapezoid
triangle

We see that the trapezoid is term 7.

-------------

Method 2 is faster and the one I recommend.

Since the pattern repeats every 4 items, this means we divide by 4 and look at the remainder. Ignore the quotient entirely.

7/4 = 1 remainder 3

The remainder 3 means that the answer is found in term 3, which is the trapezoid.

A store is selling five cans of tomato sauce for $5.25. What is the unit price? unit price = total price ÷ number of units per p

aleksklad [387]

Answer: Option A

$P = \$\ 1.05$

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have 5 cans of ketchup they cost $ 5.25. Then the unit price of cans is what each can costs individually.

The unit price should then be less than $ 5.25, and that is the price for 5 cans and we want to know the price for just one can of ketchup.

Then to calculate the price of each can divide the price of the 5 cans by 5.

$P = \frac{5.25}{5}$

$P = \$\ 1.05$
