Question

THIS IS FOR 29 POINTS!!!!!

EXPLAIN WHAT YOU DID PLEASE!!!
Ling can type 52 words per minute. She typed 364 words, which is 40% of the total number of words she needs to transcribe. How many minutes did Ling type? How many words does she have left to type?

Answer 1

Ling can type 52 words.
52 words=1 minute
364 words is 40%
728 words is equal to 80%
182 words is 20%. Add the 80% and the 20% to equal
910 words as the full total.
Ling has already been typing for 7 minutes, because the 364 divided by 52 is 7.
So the 910 total take away the 364 she already typed = 546 words left to type. Ling has already been typing for 7 minutes, because the 364 divided by 52 is 7.

Answer 2

so 52 words per 1 minute

364 words per x minute
52:1 as is 364:x so
divide 364 by 52 and get 7
she typed 7 minutes

so 40% means 40/100 or 4/10

so 364=4/10
divide 364 by 2
364/2=182=2/10
multiply 182 by 5 ( to make 2/10 into 10/10) and get 910=words total to type

BUT WE WANT TO FIND WORDS LEFT so
910-364=546
she has 546 words left to type
