Answer 1

Answer: $356.31

Step-by-step explanation:

take the percentage and put it over 100 and put the amount the percentage is equal to across from is over x.  Cross multiply.  You end up with 21.33x=7,600.  Divide both numbers by 21.33 and you end up with 356.31.  I rounded 356.305 to 356.31 because it had to be in the hundredths place to have a monetary value.
