Question

75% of blank peaches is 15 peaches?

At a shelter 15% of the dogs are puppies. There are 60 dogs at the shelter. How many puppies?

The sales tax in the town where Amanda lives is 7%. Amanda paid 35$ in sales tax on a new stereo. What was the price of the stereo?

Answer 1

.75 * p = 15

divide by .75

p = 15/.75 = 20

20 peaches

.15 * d = puppies

.15 * 60 = puppies

puppies = 9

stereo *.09 = 35

divide by .09

stereo = 35/.09

stereo = 388.89
