Answer 1

Explanation:

3)

25% of 15.99=0.25×15.99=3.9975

Nope you will save about 4 dollars.

4)

12$ is 100% of its price

If there is a 25% discount, it will cost 75% of its original value.

75% of 12=0.75×12=9

It will cost 9 dollars

5)

You have 40% left of 150

so, 0.4(150)=60

You ANSWERED 90 but you still have 60 remaining.

6)

60% of 1350 lived since 40% died

0.6×1350=810

about 810 lived

7)

40% of the angelfish died

0.4×230=92

92 angelfish died

8)

The collected 125% of what they expected

1.25×1200=1500

They collected 1500 cans
