Question

Two ways you could evaluate 37% of the sum of 27 3/5 and 15.9 plz answer as soon as you can

Answer 1

16.095.

Explanation:

We can either find 37% of both the numbers and add the results, or we can add the numbers and then find the 37% of the sum.

1. Let us find 37% of both numbers separately.

First of all we will convert our mixed fraction into improper fraction.

`27(3)/(5)=(138)/(5)`

37% of
`27(3)/(5)` will be,

`(138)/(5)* (37)/(100)=(138)/(5)* 0.37`

`27.6* 0.37=10.212`

Now let us find 37% of 15.9.

`15.9* (37)/(100)=15.9* 0.37=5.883`

Now let us add 37% of both numbers.

`10.212+5.883=16.095`

Therefore, 37% of our given numbers will be 16.095.

2. Now we will add both numbers and then find 37% of their sum.

`27(3)/(5) +15.9=(138)/(5)+15.9`

`27.6 +15.9=43.5`

Now let us find 37% of 43.5.

`43.5*(37)/(100)=43.5* 0.37=16.095`

Therefore, 37% of 43.5 is 16.095. We have seen that using either way we got the same answer.
