Answer: 64.29%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total earnings of the Lee family in May be x
Amount earned by Mr Lee in May = 60% of x = 0.6x
Amount earned by other family members in May = x - 0.6x (total earnings - Mr Lee's earnings) = 0.4x
Amount earned by Mr Lee in June = 20% more than what Mr Lee earned in May.
That is, amount earned by Mr Lee in June = 1.2 × 0.6x = 0.72x
Amount earned by other members of the family in June remains unchanged, that is = 0.4x
Total amount earned by the Lee family in June = 0.72x + 0.4x = 1.12x
Percentage of total earnings in June earned by Mr. Lee = (0.72x/1.12x) × 100% = 64.29%.
QED!
Pretty simple equation, where we need to find the number of books. If it is 2$ each day per book
72/9 = 8$ per day is the late fee paid
So if each book is 2$, then we can assume
8/2 = 4 books
So equation is
“# books = (amount paid)/(days * per day payment)”
The question can be answered using ratio and proportion.
In 40 minutes, Tracy can rake 4 bags of leaves. In 2 hours (which is equivalent to 120 minutes), how many bag will it be?
Making the equation.
4 : 40 = BAGS : 120
4 x 120 = 40 x BAGS
480 = 40 (BAGS) // Divide both sides by 40
BAGS = 12.
So there will be 12 bags of leaves.
Step-by-step explanation:
65 + (y + 9) = 180 ---------- Sum of angles on a
straight line
y + 65 + 9 = 180
y + 74 = 180
y = 180 - 74 = 106
6x + 7 = y + 9 ----------- Alternate angles
But y = 106,
6x + 7 = 106 + 9
6x = 115 - 7
x = 108/6 = 18
