a movie theater sold 500 tickets on
saturday. if 225 tickets were sold in the
afternoon, what percent of the tickets
were sold in the afternoon?

45%

Step-by-step explanation:

225 of 500 can be written as:

225/500

To find percentage, we need to find an equivalent number with denominator 100. Multiply both numerator & denominator by 100

225/500 × 100/100

= (225 × 100/500) ×

1/100

=

45/100

Therefore, the answer is 45%

Hope this helps :)

$53.50

step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the amount of money chuck earned ($72.50) by the cost of the gas for the mower ($11.25) and the new string for the trimmer he bought ($7.75).

72.50-11.25=61.25

and then subtract $61.25 by the second thing he bought (the new string for the trimmer)

61.25-7.75=53.5

so in total it's $53.50 (53 dollars and 50 cents)
