Answer 1

Answer:

The cleaner dry cleans 21 pairs of pants

The cleaner dry cleans 30 dresses

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of garments dry-cleaned per week = 93

32% of the garments are dresses, and 45% are suits

Percentage of pairs of pants contained in the garments = 100% - 32% - 45%

Percentage of pairs of pants contained in the garments = 23%

Number of pairs of pants = 23% of 93

Number of pairs of pants = (23/100) x 93

Number of pairs of pants = 21.39

Number of pairs of pants = 21 (to the nearest whole number)

32% of those garments are dresses

Number of dresses = 32% of 93

Number of dresses = (32/100) x 93

Number of dresses = 29.76

Approximate to the nearest whole number

Number of dresses = 30
