Answer:

Question 1: 3

Question 2: $120

Explanation:

Set up a proportion


(inches)/(miles) =
(inches)/(miles) fill in the numbers that you know and solve for the unknow.


(5)/(2) =
(7.5)/(m) Cross multiply

5x =7.5(2)

5x = 15 Divide both sides by 5

x = 3

If we take 40% off that means that we leave 60% on

Percent means per hundred


(60)/(100) When you divide by hundred, you move the decimal two places to the left.

200(.6)

$120.00
