4.
A package filled with 60 donated clothing items was just dropped off.
of the items in the package were shirts.
0.45 of the items in the package were jeans.
The rest of the items in the package were dresses.
How many dresses were in the package?
21 dresses
39 dresses
12 dresses
27 dresses
To find the number of dresses in the package, we need to subtract the number of shirts and jeans from the total number of items.
The proportion of shirts in the package is given by 0.3, so the number of shirts is 0.3 * 60 = 18.
The proportion of jeans in the package is given by 0.45, so the number of jeans is 0.45 * 60 = 27.
To find the number of dresses, we subtract the number of shirts and jeans from the total number of items: 60 - 18 - 27 = 15.
Therefore, there were 15 dresses in the package. However, none of the answer choices match this value, so it seems there may be an error in the given proportions or description.
