Answer 2

a) 6 1/4% of $3,875 is $242.18.

b) 16 2/3% of 96 lamps is 16 lamps.

c) 87 1/2% of 540.72 is 473.11

d) 33 1/3% of 750 boys is 252.52 boys

e) 66 1/2 % of 240 kg is 159.6 kg.

Explanation:

x% of y is calculated as
`(x)/( 100) * y`

Here calculating the given percentages:

a) 6 1/4% of $3,875

Now, 6 1/4 = 6+ 1/4 = 6.25

⇒6.25% of $3,875 =
`(6.25)/(100)  * 3,875 = 242.18`

Hence, 6 1/4% of $3,875 is $242.18.

b) 16 2/3% of 96 lamps

Now, 16 2/3 = 16+ 2/3 = 16.67

⇒16.67% of 96 lamps =
`(16.67)/(100)  * 96 = 16`

Hence, 16 2/3% of 96 lamps is 16 lamps.

c) 87 1/2% of 540.72

Now, 87 1/2 = 87+ 1/2 = 87.5

⇒87.5 % of 540.72 =
`(87.5)/(100)  * 540.72 = 473.11`

Hence, 87 1/2% of 540.72 is 473.11

d) 33 1/3% of 750 boys

Now, 33 1/3 = 33+ 1/3 = 33.67

⇒33.67 % of 750 boys =
`(33.67)/(100)  * 750 = 252.52`

Hence, 33 1/3% of 750 boys is 252.52 boys

e) 66 1/2 % of 240 kg

Now, 66 1/2 = 66+ 1/2 = 66.50

⇒66 1/2 % of 240 kg =
`(66.50)/(100)  * 240 kg = 159.6`

Hence, 66 1/2 % of 240 kg is 159.6 kg.
