"of" means to multiply.
20% * 60
= 0.2 * 60 (since % means divide by 100)
= 12
Multiplying 20×1/2 is the same as dividing 20 by 2. Which means the answer is 10.
So $39.50 is the price when you are paying full price, which can be represented by 100%. If you’re paying 25% less, than you are only paying 75% of the original price. Simply multiply $39.50 by 75%(expresses as 0.75) to determine the sale price. 39.50(.75)=29.62 The closest value to that is $29.50, so D is the answer.
The question in English
<span>A dance was attended by 270 people. If the gentlemen tickets cost 100 pesos and the lady tickets 80 pesos and 24800 pesos were collected for all the tickets. How many women and how many men attended the dance?
let
x---------> the number of men
y--------> the number of women
we know that
x+y=270----> x=270-y-----> equation 1
100x+80y=24800-------> equation 2
substitute equation 1 in equation 2
100*[270-y]+80y=24800----> 27000-100y+80y=24800
20y=2200-----> y=110
x=270-y----> x=270-110----> x=160
the answer is
the number of men ---> 160
the number of women----> 110
the answer in Spanish
</span>hagamos
x--------->la cantidad de hombres
y--------->la cantidad de mujeres
Sabemos que
x+y=270----> x=270-y-----> ecuacion 1
100x+80y=24800-------> ecuacion 2
sustituimos la ecuacion 1 en la ecuacion 2
100*[270-y]+80y=24800----> 27000-100y+80y=24800
20y=2200-----> y=110
x=270-y----> x=270-110----> x=160
La respuesta es
la cantidad de hombres es 160
la cantidad de mujeres es 110
