You started with a total of 28 muffins

<h3>How to determine the amount you started with?</h3>

From the question, the given parameters are:

Proportion carried away = 16 of the total muffins

Proportion carried away = 4/7 of the total muffins

The above parameters implies that

4/7 of the total muffins = 16

Represent the amount you started with x

So, we have the following representation

4/7 of x = 16

Express as products

4/7x = 16

Make x the subject

x = 7 * 16/4

Evaluate

x = 28

Hence, the total number of muffins is 28

Something on sale for $725. The original price was $1299. To the nearest tenth of a percent, what was the rate of discount?

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

44.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of discount = (difference in prices / original price) x 100

Difference in price = $1299 - $725 = $574

Original price = $1299

($574 / $1299) x 100 = 44.187837%

the tenth is the first number after the decimal place. To convert to the nearest tenth, look at the number after the tenth (the hundredth). If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero

the hundredth figure is 8, which is greater than 5. 1 would be added to the tenth figure.

So it becomes 44.2%

One pattern believe fabric sells for $15 for every 2 yards, and another sells for 37.50 every 5 yards do these fabrics have the

Elenna [48]

We need to find out how much is worth one yard in both fabrics, so we divide $15.00 by 2 and $37.50 by 5:

$15.00 ÷ 2 = $7.50 per yard
$37.50 ÷ 5 = $7.50 per yard

As both prices per yard are the same, the answer is: <span>Yes, these fabrics have the same unit cost.</span>
