A sweater that normally sells for $95 is marked 30% off. Which of the following estimates the sale price of the sweater?

We need to form a mathematical expression from the given word problem.

Let the unknown number be x.

Thrice a number is three times = 3x

Twelve less than thrice a number = 3x-12

Thus, the mathematical expression from the word problem is 3x-12

We need to find the amount Lana left after spending and investing another.

Lana spends=70% of $90=70/100 * 90 = $63

Amount left after spending=$(90-63) = $27

Lana is left with $27, which she will invest and earns a profit of 60%.

Profit earned=60% of $27 = 60/100 * 27 = $16.20

Therefore, Lana will have $27 + $16.20 = $43.20

Based rainfall falling for the first 5 months, a bar graph will give a great display for the farmer to decide when start planting. The horizontal scale will represent months of the year and vertical scale will present the amount of rainfall falling.

In order for the teacher to better visualize the test performance for his class, he needs to present the mark distribution in chart form. A better chart visualizer is the histogram, which will show the frequency of marks against range of test scores. A bar graph will not be used because the rectangles need to touch one another.

In a bar graph, the rectangles do not touch each other. Therefore, it will not be a good chart visualizer.

The initial step is to convert the decimal numbers into fractions.

5.2 becomes 52/10

5.15 becomes 515/100

Next, find the least common denominator of 3, 10, and 100, which is 300. We use this value and multiply each fraction.

7/3*300=700

52/10*300=1560

13/3*300=1300

515/100*300=1545

From the above, 1560 is the greatest value which corresponds to 52/10. Thus, 5.2 is the greatest value of all the choices given.

In this problem, we need to find the amount of gratuity the couple will leave. The gratuity is 16% of the total bill. Before solving the problem, the following are terms and their meaning in percent problems:

• Is means equals
• Of means multiply
• What means unknown (variable)

If we let x be the amount of gratuity, then translating the given problem into a mathematical equation becomes:

Now we evaluate the above equation noting that of means multiply.

So, the value of x=9.376 and to the nearest cent, x=9.38

There, a couple will leave a gratuity of $9.38.

We analyze the given statement with the graph given as follows:

For option a: the points per game decreased five times between 1996 and 2015. So, the statement is true.

For option b: the lowest points scored per game was in 1998-99 season. So, the statement is false.

For option c: 2008-09 was the season the chargers scored the greatest number of points per game and not 2002-03 as claimed in the statement. So, this statement is not true.

We are required to find the doctor’s earning in 4 weeks after taking off taxes.

The first step is to find the total weekly deductions as follows:

Total weekly tax=federal income tax + state income tax + Social Security tax

Total weekly tax=$(85.00+40.00+81.00)

Total tax=$206.00

The next step is to find the weekly income after deducting total taxes

Weekly net income=gross income-total tax

Weekly net income=$(980.00-206.00)=$774.00

In one week, the net income of the doctor is $774.00 and after 4 weeks, the net income will be 4 times his weekly earning

We two conversions when asked to convert between kg and lb

And

We need kg equivalent of 220 lb, therefore we use option 1 and carry out the conversions as follows:

Thus, 100kg is equal to 220lb.

A ratio is of the form a : b but can also be converted to a fraction of the form a/b, where b is not equal to zero. Besides, to in ration means per in fraction form.

In the class of 40 students, 22 are girls and 18 are boys. Thus, the ratio of girls to boys becomes:

The above fraction can be reduced further since 2 is a common factor in both 22 and 18. Thus

In ratio form, girls: boys=11:9

Thus, the ratio of girls to boys in a class of 40 students is 11 to 9.
