anonymous · Answer

I got A is that right

amistre64 · Answer

no,  if something is less than 100% of something else, that it cannot be more than 100% of it

amistre64 · Answer

21/25 = 21(4)/100 = 84%

anonymous · Answer

basically 21/25=84%. to multiply a percent we put into a decimal. 0.84 of 18000

amistre64 · Answer

10% is 1800 so we are somewhere between 1800 and 18000

amistre64 · Answer

if we divide 18000 into 25 parts

18000/25

and add up 21 of those parts

18000 * 21/25
