In this post, I will be showing you how to do part A, and questions 4 and 5. I will be using a ratio table for both of them. Remember that what you do to one side, you have to do to the other side.

Part A

1) 245% of $356.80

245% of 365.80 is 874.16

2) 68 3/4% of 730

Here we have to convert the fraction into a decimal.

68 3/4% of 730 is 501.875

3) 360% of $129.95

360% of 129.95 is 467.82

Part B

Since these are word problems, you have to have a simple sentence answer at the end.

5) The 4900 seat hockey arena was 63% full. How many people were at the game?

6) The Nile River is about 209% the length of the Yukon River. If the Yukon River is 3168 km, how long is the Nile river to the Nearest km? Show your work.

Well, I hope that helped explain things. Please comment, THANKS!

PART A

oops there was a mistake in the picture. The last part on the left side of the chart is 501.88 not 50.88 (and I think I rounded it because the answer is 501.875)

PART B

2) Table Salt is a chemical compound of sodium and chlorine. recommended daily intake is about 1700 mg. If Canadians consume 182% of this amount on average, how much sodium is one person eating daily? They're eating 3094 mg a day

3)Miguel bought a car for $4700. He made a down payment of 19 1/2%. How much was the down payment? He payed 916.5
