Answer 1
Answer: so earned 56,700 in a year and had 8,788.5 held back
convert to percent

so find what percent was withhelald which is (amount held back)/(total taken from)
so it would be 8,788.5/56,700=0.155/1
percent means parts out of 100 or x/100=x% so convert the bottom number ot 100 by mulitplyint the whole fraction by 1 or 100/100 so
0.155/1 times 100/100=15.5/100=15.5%
the answer is 15.5%

Which shows 5.45 written as a mixed number?

Answers

5.45 written as a mixed number is 5 9/20. You get that by well first 5 is a whole number so put that by itself. Then .45 is really 45/100. You reduce that because both of them can be reduced by 5. Reduce them to get 9/20. After that, just put the pieces together. Put 5 by itself and 9/20 to get 5 9/20.

How how do you how do you estimate 4.23-2.51

Answers

Hi CuteFace ! Estimating is an easier way to find out an answer ! To estimate this particular problem you have to round both the numbers so 4.23 would round to 4 and 2.51 would round to 3 . 4-3=1

Answer:

If you round it would be 4-3=? . If the decimal is above .50 then you would go up one number in the ones place if it is not then it stays the same.
