Alfagg · Answer

no, i am reading it throw and i have no clue!!!

Sailor · Answer

Ok so, 32% of 850 would be 0.32 times 850

Sailor · Answer

And that should answer part A for you

Sailor · Answer

Part B:
75% of the teens would be 150. You would make the equation $$0.75x=150$$ You would then divide by 0.75 on both sides. 
That should give you $$x=200$$

I'm not sure exactly what you would put for part C, but I assume you have to come up with that part on your own.
