did she use?​

Answer 1

4. His classmate's daily allowance is of P100.

5. She used 25% of the sheets of art paper.

Explanation:

4. Manuel, a son of a school janitor, does not ask for more. He has a daily

allowance of P10 a day which is 20% of his classmate's daily allowance. How much is his classmate's daily allowance?

An allowance of P10 a day is 20% of his classmate's allowance, that is, 20% of x. So

`0.2x = 20`

`x = (20)/(0.2)`

`x = 100`

His classmate's daily allowance is of P100.

5. Carla, a grade six pupil , has 24 sheets of art paper for his project in Math. If 6 sheets of art paper were used by Carla, what percent of the sheets of art paper did she use?​

She used 6 sheets, of the 24. So

`P = (6*100)/(24) = (100)/(4) = 25`

She used 25% of the sheets of art paper.
