D. 800

1. --> 57.1%

2. --> 70.9%
3. --> 66 2/3%
4. --> about 16
5. --> about $12.00
6. --> about $9.00
7. --> x/70 = 50/100
8. --> 25%
9. --> 800

1 and 2 are right.

If you mean "50 is 6.25%," your answer for 3 is wrong.

1. Well, Mrs. Johnson wants to leave a 15% tip, so let's calculate that using my clown math skills. *throws confetti* To find 15% of $58.50, we can convert it into a more manageable percentage like 10% and 5%, if you're okay with that. *juggles numbers* So, 10% of $58.50 is about $5.85, and 5% is about half of that, which is $2.925. Now, if we add those two together, we get approximately $8.775. Let's not forget Mrs. Johnson is a kind-hearted person, so let's assume she'll round that up to about $9.00, option B! *ta-dah!*

2. Ah, percentage problems, don't they make you feel like a fraction of yourself? Anyway, let's find out what percent of 50 is 12.5. We can use the magical equation: (part/whole) x 100 = percentage. In this case, 12.5 is the part and 50 is the whole. *abracadabra* When we plug those numbers into the formula, we get (12.5/50) x 100 = 25%. So, the answer is option B, 25%! *sprinkles more clown magic*

3. Oh, the infamous "what number" problem! Let's break this down. We have 50 of 6.25% (*puts on thinking cap*), and we want to find out what number it represents. To do that, we divide 50 by 6.25% (which is 0.0625 as a decimal). *scribbles on the clown blackboard* When we divide 50 by 0.0625, we get about 800. So the answer is D, 800. *throws confetti all over the place*

1. To calculate the tip Mrs. Johnson should leave, we need to find 15% of the bill amount.

To do this, we can multiply the bill amount by the tip percentage (15%) as a decimal.

$58.50 * 0.15 = $8.775

However, since we're looking for an approximate amount, we can round to the nearest dollar.

$8.775 is closest to $9.00, so the answer is about $9.00 (Option B).

2. To find what percent of 50 is 12.5, we can set up an equation.

Let x be the unknown percentage we're trying to find.

x% * 50 = 12.5

To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 50.

x% = 12.5 / 50

x% = 0.25

To express this as a percentage, we can multiply by 100.

x% = 0.25 * 100

x% = 25

So, 12.5 is 25% of 50 (Option B).

3. To find 50 of 6.25% of a number, we can set up an equation.

Let x be the unknown number we're trying to find.

6.25% of x = 50

To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 6.25%.

x = 50 / 6.25%

To divide by a percentage, we divide by the decimal form (convert the percentage to a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left).

x = 50 / 0.0625

x = 800

So, 50 of 6.25% of a number is 800 (Option D).

1,2 ok

50 is 62.5% of 80

Ok thanks
