To check and correct your answers, let's go through each question one by one:
1. Write the fraction 5/6 as a percent:
To convert a fraction to a percent, you divide the numerator (the top number) by the denominator (the bottom number) and multiply by 100.
In this case, 5 divided by 6 is 0.8333. Multiplying by 100 gives you 83.33%. Therefore, the correct answer is 83.33%.
2. Write the decimal 0.237 as a percent:
To convert a decimal to a percent, you multiply by 100.
In this case, 0.237 multiplied by 100 is 23.7%. Therefore, the correct answer is 23.7%.
3. What percent is equivalent to 2/5?
To find the percent equivalent of a fraction, you divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply by 100.
In this case, 2 divided by 5 is 0.4. Multiplying by 100 gives you 40%. Therefore, the correct answer is 40%.
4. Write the percent 47.33% as a decimal:
To convert a percent to a decimal, you divide by 100.
In this case, dividing 47.33 by 100 gives you 0.4733. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.4733.
5. How much money must James raise?
To find out how much money James must raise, you multiply the cost of the video game system by the percentage that he needs to raise.
In this case, $310 multiplied by 45% (which is equivalent to 0.45 as a decimal) gives you $139.50. Therefore, the correct answer is $139.50.
6. Solve the proportion using cross products:
To solve a proportion using cross products, you multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction and vice versa. Then you set the two results equal to each other and solve for the unknown variable.
In this case, 29 multiplied by h is equal to 10 multiplied by 58.
This can be written as 29h = 580.
Solving for h, you divide both sides of the equation by 29, which gives you h = 20. Therefore, the correct answer is 20.
7. 41 is what percent of 205?
To find out what percent one quantity is of another, you divide the first quantity by the second and multiply by 100.
In this case, 41 divided by 205 is 0.2. Multiplying by 100 gives you 20%. Therefore, the correct answer is 20%.
8. 20 is 80% of what number?
To find out what number is being represented by a certain percentage, you divide the given quantity by the percentage (as a decimal).
In this case, 20 divided by 0.8 gives you 25. Therefore, the correct answer is 25.
9. What percent of the states will have a Spanish-speaking majority?
To find out the percent, you divide the number of states having the desired characteristic (the minority) by the total number of states and multiply by 100.
In this case, 15 divided by 50 is 0.3. Multiplying by 100 gives you 30%. Therefore, the correct answer is 30%.
10. What percent of 25 is 10?
To find out what percentage one quantity is of another, you divide the first quantity by the second and multiply by 100.
In this case, 10 divided by 25 is 0.4. Multiplying by 100 gives you 40%. Therefore, the correct answer is 40%.
11. How much will Max pay in sales tax?
To find the amount of sales tax, you multiply the cost of the item by the tax rate (as a decimal).
In this case, $93.00 multiplied by 7.4% (which is equivalent to 0.074 as a decimal) gives you $6.88. Therefore, the correct answer is $6.88.
12. Find the amount of sales tax for a lawnmower that costs $265.00 at a 6% tax rate.
To find the amount of sales tax, you multiply the cost of the item by the tax rate (as a decimal).
In this case, $265.00 multiplied by 6% (which is equivalent to 0.06 as a decimal) gives you $15.90. Therefore, the correct answer is $15.90.
