add the percent of kites that were NOT blue
38+25=63
100%-63%=37%
37% of x = 296
.37x=296
x=296/.37
x=800
they made a total of 800 kites
5. 60 people each bought $2 lottery tickets. 7 of these people won $5, 3 of them won %10 and 1 of them won $20. The total amount of money won, is what percent of the total amount spent on the tickets?
im going to assume that 3 of them won $10, not %10
find the amount spent: 60*2= $120
total $5 winners: 7, so 7*5= $35 to those winners
total $10 winners: 3, so 3*10= $30 to those winners
total $20 winners: 1, so 1*20= $20 to those winners
add up all the winnings:
35+30+20= $85
what percent of $85 out of $120
X of 120=85
120x=85
x=85/120
the percent is roughly 70.8%
