1. A) There are 16 pieces of fruit in a bowl and 8 of them are oranges. What percentage of the Fruit are oranges? (Please explain)

If there are 16 pieces of fruit and 8 of them are oranges then 16 - 8 = 8.       This proves that 8 is half of 16 so the percentage of oranges in the bowl is 50%

I hope this helps (:

50% of them are oranges.

Step-by-step explanation:

Half of the fruit in the bowl are oranges and the other half aren't. As a percentage, 50% would describe the oranges in the bowl and 100% would describe the overall amount of fruit in the bowl since half of 16 is 8. Sorry if my explanation is confusing.

step-by-step explanation:

given

y + 3 = - 4(x - 2) ← distribute the parenthesis

y + 3 = - 4x + 8 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

y = - 4x + 5 → d
