Answer 5

so like a first step subtract from 3733580 the 3043878 suppose you get P
after this

just use the rule of 3 simple and write in this way


3043878 mean 100%
P mean x% cross multiplie and calcule the x value

x = P*100/3043878 = ?%

Answer 6

What is answer choice B?
I only see A, C, and D

Answer 7

B was wrong

Answer 8

So it was the 22.6%

689702

Answer 10

Well I guess like that previous question, we'll just have to divide by the other number (even though your teacher realized she made a mistake)

So good, you have 689,702

what is
689,702 / 3,733,580
