Question 3 • *WHS Pre-Algebra - MA3119 A-CR

Carolyn is using the table to find 360% of 15. What values do X and Y represent in her table?PercentTotal100%100%100%20%20%20%360%XXXYYY

Answer
A
X = 2.5; Y = 2.5
B
X = 5; Y = 0.75
C
X = 15; Y = 3
D
X = 15; Y = 5

Explanation

Since 100% of 15 is 15, each 100% entry in the table has a total of 15, so X = 15. Also, 20% of 15 is 0.2 × 15 = 3, so Y = 3. The table builds 360% from three 100% parts and three 20% parts.
