The dragon kite co. Makes red, green and blue kites. One week they made 38% red kites, 25% green kite and the rest blue kites. If they made 296 blue kites, how many kites did they make in all?
Accepted Solution
A:
add the percent of kites that were NOT blue 38+25=63 100%-63%=37% 37% of x = 296
.37x=296 x=296/.37 x=800
they made a total of 800 kites
5. 60 people each bought $2 lottery tickets. 7 of these people won $5, 3 of them won %10 and 1 of them won $20. The total amount of money won, is what percent of the total amount spent on the tickets?
im going to assume that 3 of them won $10, not %10 find the amount spent: 60*2= $120 total $5 winners: 7, so 7*5= $35 to those winners total $10 winners: 3, so 3*10= $30 to those winners total $20 winners: 1, so 1*20= $20 to those winners
add up all the winnings: 35+30+20= $85 what percent of $85 out of $120 X of 120=85 120x=85 x=85/120 the percent is roughly 70.8%
