Answer 1

Answer:

Question 1: She had $352 in her wallet

Question 2: The percent of the trout were the tiger trout is 45%

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

∵ Carmen spent $88 at the mall

∵  The money she spent was 25% of the total amount she had in her wallet

→ Assume that the amount she had in her wallet is $x

∴ 25% of x = 88

→ Change 25% to decimal by divide it by 100

∵ 25% = $\frac{25}{100}$ = 0.25

∴ 0.25 × x = 88

∴ 0.25x = 88

→ Divide both sides by 0.25 to find x

∴ $\frac{0.25x}{0.25}=\frac{88}{0.25}$

∴ x = 352

∵ x represents the total amount she had in her wallet

∴ She had $352 in her wallet

Question 2:

∵ Kendrick caught 22 rainbow trout and 18 tiger trout while fishing

  last month

∴ The number of rainbow trout = 22

∴ The number of tiger trout = 18

→ To find the percent of tiger trout divide its number by the total number

   of trout, then multiply the result by 100%

∵ The total number of the trout = 22 + 18 = 40

∴ The percent of the tiger trout = $\frac{18}{40}$ × 100%

∴ The percent of the tiger trout = 45%

∴ The percent of the trout were the tiger trout is 45%
