Alexa has saved 2/7
of the cost of her trip to the Caribbean. Estimate how much money she
has left to save.

A.3/4 of the cost
B.1/2 of the cost

C.1 1/4 of the cost

D.1/4 of the cost

A 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up equation to find the percentage 2/7 equals:

Variable x = percentage

2/7 = x/100

Cross multiply:

2 × 100 = 7 × x

200 = 7x

Divide:

28.57142... = x

About 30% (I rounded to 30% because it is a nice number to use when all other numbers end in 5 or 0)

If Alexa has about 30% saved, she will need to save about 70% more. Find the solution that is closest to 70%.

A is 3/4 which comes out to 75%. So far, this sounds like the best answer. Let's check the others just in case.

B is 1/2, or 50% which isn't as close as A was to 70%.

C is 1 1/4 which means 125% needs to be saved. This would mean Alexa is in debt and hasn't saved any money which is not the case.

D is 1/4, or 25%. The trick here is that she's saved about 30% so 25% is closest, but we are looking for how much more she needs to save.

answer: i'm not going to give you the answer, but some hints to work it out.

step-by-step explanation: so, if there is a straight line that means that the line angle is 180°. so we subtract the 2 angle measures provided, (15 and 38) from 180. so the answer is 180 - (38 + 15). (you have to solve the equation)

answer:

3 bags of apples and 2 bags of oranges.
