Picture 1: The amount of tax for Veena's meal is $1.02
Picture 2: Christian reads [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] books per week.
Picture 3: 80% is equal to [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
Picture 1: Veena ate lunch at a deli. She ordered turkey sandwich for $9.25 and a salad for $4.35. The tax was 7.5%. What is the amount of tax for Veena's meal.
Given,
Price of turkey sandwich = $9.25
Price of salad = $4.35
Total amount = 9.25+4.35 = $13.60
Tax = 7.5%
Amount of tax = 7.5% of total cost
Amount of tax = [tex]\frac{7.5}{100}*13.60[/tex]
Amount of tax = [tex]\frac{102}{100} = \$1.02[/tex]
The amount of tax for Veena's meal is $1.02
Picture 2: Christian reads 1/4 book every 2/3 week. How many books does Christian read per week?
Given,
Books read every 2/3 weeks = 1/4 books
[tex]\frac{2}{3}\ weeks=\frac{1}{4}\ books\\[/tex]
For determining the number of books read per week, we will multiply both sides by [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{3}{2}*\frac{2}{3}\ week=\frac{1}{4}*\frac{3}{2}\ books\\\\1\ week = \frac{3}{8}\ books\\\\[/tex]
Christian reads [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] books per week.
Picture 3: What percent is equivalent to [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]?
We will multiply the given fraction with hundred for calculating the percentage.
[tex]\frac{4}{5}*100\\\\\frac{400}{5}\\\\80\%[/tex]
Therefore,
80% is equal to [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex].
