Today, the Amazing Art Museum expects to sell 125% of the 1,400 tickets they sold yesterday. Explain how to use equivalent ratios to find 125% of 1,400.
To find 125% of 1,400, you can use equivalent ratios.
First, convert 125% to a decimal by dividing it by 100:
125% รท 100 = 1.25
Next, set up a ratio with the new decimal value as the multiplier:
1.25:1
To find 125% of 1,400, multiply 1.25 by 1,400:
1.25 * 1,400 = 1,750
Therefore, the Amazing Art Museum expects to sell 1,750 tickets today.
