Answer 1

Number 1 is 64$ I check it with my math

Answer 2

1. $64

2. 20%

3. 25%

4. $65.50

Explanation:

1. 80 x 20% = ?

method = 80 x 0.20 = 16 = $16 80-16 = 64 = $64

2. 14 x ? % = $11.20

method = We divide 11.20/14 = 0.8 = 0.80 = 80% inverse of 80% = 20%

proof 14 x 0.20 = 2.80 so; 14 -2.80 = $11.20

3. 1000 x ? = $750

method = 1000/750 = 0.75 0.75 = 75% inverse on original price = 25%

4. $55 x 10% = ?

method = 55 x 1.10 = 65.5 = $65.50
