A.$3.00 B.$20.15 C.$23.00 D$35.00

23. anonymous

I was thinking c cause 15% is $3 I believe 24. UsukiDoll let's convert the percentage into decimal 15/100 = 0.15 0.15 x 20.00 = 3$20.00+3 =23 yes it is C. You are good at this :)

Bentio read 14 books in 3 months, which was 35% of the number of books he had signed up for during school year How many books did benitio sign up to read ? A.40 B.42 C.56 D.105 -ok

31. anonymous

so ur not gong to help me now ?!

32. anonymous

@LynFran can u help me maybe with a few more?

33. anonymous

can u do this one ? ^

34. anonymous

@NICK702222

35. welshfella

by proportion the number of books he signed for = 14 / 0.35

36. welshfella

(35% = 0.35)

37. welshfella

just gran your calculator and work out 14 divided by 0.35

38. welshfella

* grab!

39. anonymous

could u help me with ths one up top bout the books and before that.......@LynFran

40. UsukiDoll

-_-. I actually got the previous question.. must be my sleep depriving mode

41. anonymous

lol it happens

42. UsukiDoll

75% of a number is 120. What is 40% of the number? A.36 B.64 C.138 D.225 we are told that 75% of a number is 120. So we have to figure that part out first

43. UsukiDoll

0.75 x 120 = 90 so now we have 90 we need 40% of 90 converting from percent to decimal 40/100 = 0.40 0.40 x 90 = 36

44. anonymous

40 books

45. UsukiDoll

as for Bentio read 14 books in 3 months, which was 35% of the number of books he had signed up for during school year How many books did benitio sign up to read ? A.40 B.42 C.56 D.105 someone already gave out a clue which was 14/0.35 that's 40

46. anonymous

ok theres 6 more QS..do u mind helping

47. UsukiDoll

I could try... I haven't been sleeping well in weeks.

48. welshfella

@NICK702222 - please dont just give the answer to the question. Guide the questioner to the answer - read Code of Conduct. The poster learns nothing if you just give the answer

49. LynFran

for this question what was ur answer 75% of a number is 120. What is 40% of the number? A.36 B.64 C.138 D.225

50. LynFran

51. LynFran

36 is incorrect let me explain

52. UsukiDoll

told you it's sleep issues and I haven't done these in ages. >_<

53. UsukiDoll

so when I was rechecking, I had this odd number that didn't fit, so there must be another method.

54. LynFran

$\frac{ 75 }{ 100}*160=120$ so we use 160 and find 40% of it $\frac{ 40 }{ 100 }*160=64$

55. UsukiDoll

where did you get 160?

56. UsukiDoll

oh x.x misread the question 75% of a number is 120. 0.75 x n = 120

57. UsukiDoll

then divide 0.75 for 160

58. LynFran

$\frac{ 100 }{ 75 }*120=160$

59. UsukiDoll

then 160 x 0.40 = 64

60. UsukiDoll

accidentally overlooked the "a number" part. x(

61. anonymous

The orginial price of a watch is $109. It was on sale for$100.28.what was the discount rate...this has no answers

62. UsukiDoll

try... original price - sale price to figure out the difference

63. UsukiDoll

I found the discount rate, but what I did... well I don't recommend it.. it's trial and error.

64. LynFran

65. UsukiDoll

really?

66. UsukiDoll

I used logic a bit to get my rate XD

67. anonymous

68. UsukiDoll

the original price is 109 and the sale price is 100.28 what is 109-100.28 ?

69. UsukiDoll

then we can figure out whether or not our discount rate is big or small.

70. LynFran

71. UsukiDoll

*should be big or small. omg I'm messing up at typing XD

72. LynFran

ok since you inbox me saying yes do u have any more problems to work here?

73. anonymous

A desks costs $139.00. if the sales tax is 7%,how much tax would be on this desk - cause i inboxed doesn't mean you have to be like that, my computer acts stupid cause when i type it wont let me again after i post stuff its easier to message sometimes 74. LynFran ok my bad sorry 75. LynFran what is 7/100*139 76. UsukiDoll first we have to have 7% in decimal form 7/100 = 0.07 then multiply 0.07 by 139 77. anonymous 9.73 78. UsukiDoll yes! 79. UsukiDoll almost$10 in tax.. D: That's a plate lunch

80. UsukiDoll
