Question

How much money is 16 2/3 of $`1200

Needs to be solved with simple equation.

Basically I don't know how to find percent without converting mixed number to decimal. Need exact answer with work shown.

Answer 1

20000

Explanation:

16 and 2/3 of 1200:

`= \left(16 + \frac23\right) * 1200`

`=(16 * 1200)+ \left(\frac23* 1200\right)`

`=19200+ \frac{2400}3`

`=19200+800`

`=20000`

Or you can convert the mixed number into an improper fraction:

`= \left(16 + \frac23\right) * 1200`

`= \left( \frac{16* 3+2}3\right) * 1200`

`= \frac{50}3 * 1200`

`= \frac{50 * 1200}3`

`= \frac{60000}3`

`=20000`
