A farmer was 1/3 of his land to grow corn, a quarter of his land to grow lettuce, and 12.5% of his land to grow green beans. He uses the remaining 7 acres to grow wheat.How many total acres does the farmer own? Convert all land portions to fractions or decimals. We will do fractions: [LIST] [*]1/3 for corn [*][I]A quarter[/I] means 1/4 for lettuce [*]12.5% is 12.5/100 or 1/8 for green beans [/LIST] Now add all these up: 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/8 We need a common factor for 3, 4, and 8. Using our [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/gcflcm.php?num1=3&num2=4&num3=8&pl=LCM']LCM Calculator[/URL], we get 24. 1/3 = 8/24 1/4 = 6/24 18 = 3/24 Add them all up: (8 + 6 + 3)/24 17/24 This means 17/24 of the land is used for everything but wheat. Wheat occupies (24-17)/24 = 7/24 of the land. We'll use a for the number of acres on the farm. 7a/24 = 7 [B]a = 24[/B]

A theater is 3/4 full. When 96 people leave, the theater is only 35% full. How many seat are there
A theater is 3/4 full. When 96 people leave, the theater is only 35% full. How many seats are there? Let the full capacity of seats in the theater be s. We're given: 3/4s - 96 = 0.35s (Since 35% is 0.35) We also know that 3/4 = 0.75, so let's use this to have decimals: 0.75s - 96 = 0.35s To solve for s, we [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=0.75s-96%3D0.35s&pl=Solve']type this equation into our search engine[/URL] and we get: s = [B]240[/B]

Dan needs 309 programs for the school play on Thursday. How many boxes of programs will he need, given that each box contains 41 programs? Each box contains 41 programs, so we divide 309 programs by 41 programs per box to get our boxes: 309/41 using our [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/longdiv.php?num1=309&num2=41&pl=Long%20Division%20%28Decimals%29']division calculator[/URL] is 7.5365. Since we don't have fractional boxes, we round up to the next highest integer. [B]8 boxes[/B]

Jonathan earns a base salary of $1500 plus 10% of his sales each month. Raymond earns $1200 plus 15%
Jonathan earns a base salary of $1500 plus 10% of his sales each month. Raymond earns $1200 plus 15% of his sales each month. How much will Jonathan and Raymond have to sell in order to earn the same amount each month? [U]Step 1: Set up Jonathan's sales equation S(m) where m is the amount of sales made each month:[/U] S(m) = Commission percentage * m + Base Salary 10% written as a decimal is 0.1. We want decimals to solve equations easier. S(m) = 0.1m + 1500 [U]Step 2: Set up Raymond's sales equation S(m) where m is the amount of sales made each month:[/U] S(m) = Commission percentage * m + Base Salary 15% written as a decimal is 0.15. We want decimals to solve equations easier. S(m) = 0.15m + 1200 [U]The question asks what is m when both S(m)'s equal each other[/U]: The phrase [I]earn the same amount [/I]means we set Jonathan's and Raymond's sales equations equal to each other 0.1m + 1500 = 0.15m + 1200 We want to isolate m terms on one side of the equation. Subtract 1200 from each side: 0.1m + 1500 - 1200 = 0.15m + 1200 - 1200 Cancel the 1200's on the right side and we get: 0.1m - 300 = 0.15m Next, we subtract 0.1m from each side of the equation to isolate m 0.1m - 0.1m + 300 = 0.15m - 0.1m Cancel the 0.1m terms on the left side and we get: 300 = 0.05m Flip the statement since it's an equal sign to get the variable on the left side: 0.05m = 300 To solve for m, we divide each side of the equation by 0.05: 0.05m/0.05 = 300/0.05 Cancelling the 0.05 on the left side, we get: m = [B]6000[/B]

Shalini gave 0.4 of her plums to her brother and 20% to her sister. She kept 16 for herself. How many plums did she have first? Let's convert everything to decimals. 20% = 0.2 So Shalini gave 0.4 + 0.2 = 0.6 of the plums away. Which means she has 1 = 0.6 = 0.4 or 40% left over. 40% represents 16 plums So our equation is 0.4p = 16 where p is the number of plums to start with Divide each side by 0.4 [B]p = 40[/B]

There is a sales tax of $15 on an item that costs $153 before tax. A second item costs $81.60 before tax. What is the sales tax on the second item? We assume the goods are bought in the same store, so tax rates are the same: Tax Rate = Tax Amount / Cost before tax Tax Rate = 15/153 Tax Rate = 0.098 or 9.8% Calculate sales tax on the second item Sales Tax = Cost before Tax * Tax Rate Sales Tax = 81.60 * 0.098 Sales Tax = 7.9968 We round to 2 decimals for dollars and cents and we get: Sales Tax = [B]$8.00[/B]
