If there are 60 sixth graders, how many sixth graders owned cat
To find out how many sixth graders owned a cat, we need to use the percentage of the pie that represents cats.
Step 1: Calculate the percentage of sixth graders that own cats.
35% of 60 = 0.35 x 60 = 21
Step 2: Write the answer in a complete sentence.
Out of 60 sixth graders, 21 owned cats.
To calculate how much you will save on an item that usually sells for $45 at a 20% discount, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the percentage discount to a decimal by dividing it by 100. In this case, 20 divided by 100 is 0.2.
Step 2: Multiply the original price of the item by the decimal representation of the discount. In this case, $45 multiplied by 0.2 equals $9.
Therefore, you will save $9 on an item that usually sells for $45 during the sale.
