\begin{gathered} 6thproblem\colon\text{total bill =20 dollars} \\ \text{DRINK cost 15 percent then} \\ \text{FOOD cost 85 percent, why? because 15+85 =100 percent} \\ Inordertofindthe\cos tofthef\infty d,We\text{ can apply the rule of thre}e\colon \\ 2\text{0 dollars -----100\%} \\ x\text{ --------- 85\%} \\ \text{Then} \\ x=((20)(85))/(100) \\ x=(1700)/(100) \\ x=17 \\ \text{The food cost 17 dollars} \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} 2ndproblem\colon\text{wood stick lenght=84cm. Thats the 100\%.} \\ we\text{ n}eed\text{ to find what is the equivalent to 25\% in lenght. Then, we can apply the rule of thre}e\colon \\ 84\operatorname{cm}\text{ ----100\%} \\ x\text{ -------25\%} \\ \text{hence:} \\ x=((84)(25))/(100) \\ x=(2100)/(100) \\ x=21\text{ cm} \\ \text{Therefore, the end of the stick equals to 21cm, the remaining part is equal to 84cm - 21cm =}63\operatorname{cm} \\ \text{This part of 63cm must be cutt into 6 parts, hence} \\ (63)/(6)=10.5\operatorname{cm} \\ \text{each part }measures\text{ 10.5cm} \end{gathered}
