Answer 1

Lets see. There are 12 months in a year. He worked 10 months.

We know that if we have 10 months,
Than 1 month is 10% of 10 months
And 8 months is 80% of 10 months.

So, based on the afore information, what do you think 10 months out of 12 will be?

Answer 2

There is also a scientific method to doing this. Take the fraction, say, 12/10, and divide it by itself.

Answer 3

\[\frac{ 10 }{ 12 }=\frac{ x }{ 100 }\]
Cross multiply to get
12x=1000
Divide by 12 on both sides and you get x=83.3

Answer 4

its c use cross multiplication to solve
