write your answer as a dollar amount and a percent

Answer 1

Explanation:

a) 7(25) + 4(10) + 37(5)

7(20) +7(5) +4(10) + 5(30) + 5(7)

1.40 + 35 + 40 + 1.50 + 35

1.75 + 40 + 1.85

3.60 + 40

4.00 = 400% of $1

b) 50 + 7(10) + 1.02

50 + 70 + 1.02

1.20 + 1.02

2.22 = 222% of $1

c) 2.00 + 13(5) + 71

2.00 + 5(3) + 5 (10) + 71

2.00 + 15 + 50 + 71

2.00 + 65 + 71

2.00 + 1.36

3.36 = 336% of $1
