1. A store manager marked up the price of a $12 clock by 20%. What is the new price of the clock? 2. On a math quiz, Kyra answered 7 of 10 questions correctly. Express her quiz score as a percent.

3. 96 students are enrolled in the Dance Program at Castillero. Of those students, 54 are eighth-graders. The remaining students are 6th or 7th graders. What percentage of the students are not eighth graders?

1) new price of the clock is $14.4

2) Kyra scored 70% marks

3) 43.75% students are not eighth graders

Step-by-step explanation:

1. A store manager marked up the price of a $12 clock by 20%. What is the new price of the clock?

Price of Clock = $12

Mark up = 20%

We need to find new price of clock.

The price of  clock can be found by finding 20% of 12 and then adding that amount in original price.

So, finding 20% of 12

So 20% of 12 is 2.4

Now finding new price:

New Price = Actual Price + Mark up

New Price = 12 + 2.4

New Price = 14.4

So, new price of the clock is $14.4

2. On a math quiz, Kyra answered 7 of 10 questions correctly. Express her quiz score as a percent.

Total questions = 10

Correct answers = 7

We need to express her quiz score as percent

It can be found using formula:

Putting values and finding percentage

So, Kyra scored 70% marks

3. 96 students are enrolled in the Dance Program at Castillero. Of those students, 54 are eighth-graders. The remaining students are 6th or 7th graders. What percentage of the students are not eighth graders?

Total Students = 96

Number of eighth-graders students = 54

Remaining students = 96 - 54 = 42

So, 42 students are 6th or 7th graders

We need to find percentage of the students are not eighth graders.

So, 43.75% students are not eighth graders

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get

e

step-by-step explanation:

an equation by definition has to have two or more variables (x and 2 in this case)
