Q:

Suppose you have to work 360 minutes at your job tomorrow. What number of minutes corresponds to 1% of the total number of minutes you have to work tomorrow? minutes To find the number in part (a), we can multiply 360 by what number? If you have worked 1% of the total 360 minutes, what percent of the 360 minutes do you have left to work? % If you have worked 1% of the total 360 minutes, how many minutes do you have left to work? minutes To find the answer in part (d), we can multiply 360 by what number?

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:a) 3.6 minutesb) 0.01c) 356.4d) 0.99Step-by-step explanation:a) What number of minutes corresponds to 1% of the total of minutes you have to work tomorrow? We can use a rule of three and solve for x:360 minutes ------ 100%x minutes    ---------- 1%x= 360/100 = 3.6 minutes b) To find the number in part (a), we can multiply 360 by what number?We can multiply by 0.01 which is the decimal expression of 1%x= 360 x 0.01 = 3.60. c)  If you have worked 1% of the total 360 minutes, what percent of the 360 minutes do you have left to work?We can use a rule of three and solve for x again:360 minutes ------ 100%x minutes ------------ 99%x= 360(99)/100 = 356.4 minutes.d) To find the answer in part (c), we can multiply 360 by what number?Since we need to know how many minutes are the 99% of the work that we have left, we can multiply by .99 which is the decimal expression of 99%x= 360 (.99) = 356.4 minutes.
