Answer 1

Hi welcome, do you know the first step?

Answer 2

Well, I know that you're supposed to add all of them up like this: 11 + 37 + 83 + 92? Right? That equals 150, but I get confused from there.

Answer 3

ok well yes you add those up, the first part you will go with the largest amount which will be (83) so that's 83 out of 150 people

Answer 4

Yep. Which would mean that large would be the answer to the 1st multiple choice.

Answer 5

in order to find the percentage of the medium AND large shirts, add them together (37+83=?) and then divide by the total of 150. (120/150 =12/15=4/5 which equals ?%.)

Answer 6

Correct :)

Answer 7

Ok

Answer 8

here so its easier \[37 +83=?\]

Answer 9

37 + 83 = 120

Answer 10

and \[120/150= 12/15=4/5= ?%\]

Answer 11

correct

Answer 12

120/150 = 0.8 or 80%. 12/15 = 0.8 or 80%. and 4/5 = 0.8 or 80%.

Answer 13

and that would be your answer for number of t-shirts :)

Answer 14

So, second answer would be 80%, but what would the third answer be?

Answer 15

now to find the Third we will have the total number of sales in each month which is $45,000, and multilpy that by 11 out of 150 to get the answer

Answer 16

\[11/150 X 45,000 = ?\]

Answer 17

3,300.

Answer 18
