while shopping, Lucinda spent $48. if the amount she spent was 15% of her savings, how much savings did she have before she she shopped ?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: $320

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the savings of Lucinda is denoted by 'x' .

If the amount she spent was 15% of her savings.

Then , the amount she spent would be 0.15x

[We can write 15% in 0.015 ∵ to convert a percentage sign we divide it by 100.]

It is given that  Lucinda spent $48.

\Rightarrow 0.15x=48\n\n\Rightarrow\ x=(48)/(0.15)\n\n=(4800)/(15)=320

Hence, she had $320 as savings before she she shopped.
Answer 2
Answer: im not sure if this is write but i would assume you would have to add it back so 
48 + 15 % = 55.2

What is 5.36201 rounded to 1 decimal place

Answers

5.36201 rounded to the first decimal place will be 5.4

this is because there is a general rule that numbers from 5 to 9 are rounded up to the next highest number. thus we need to look at the first 2 decimal places, 5.36

6 is higher than five, so it will be rounded up to 10. you cannot have a double digit number in a single decimal place, so you carry it over to the next one to the left, in this case being 3. 3 + 1 = 4, and hence we attain 5.4

What's 0.46% of 80 equal to ?

Answers

'is' in mathematics means equal
'of' in mathematics means multiplication

0.46% can also be written as 0.46/100

x = (0.46)/(100) * 80\n\nx = (0.46)/(10) * 8\n\nx = 0.046 * 8\n\n\boxed{\bf{x = 0.368}}
0.46% of 80 is equal to 0.368

Convert percentage into decimal: 0.46%/100 = 0.0046

Multiply the decimal by 80: 0.0046 × 80 = 0.368 <-- our answer.
