Answer: 112.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The question really is asking whats 45% of 250
1. Calculate 10% of the total
2. Calculate 5% of the total
3. Solve for 40% of the total
4. Add 5% of the total
1. 10% of 250
250 = 100%
*divide both sides by 10*
25 = 10%
2. 5% of 250
25 = 10%
*divide both sides by 2*
12.5 = 5%
3. 40% of 250
10% + 10% + 10% + 10% = 40%
25 + 25 + 25 + 25 = 40%
50 + 50 = 40%
100 = 40%
4. 45% of 250
100 = 40%
12.5 = 5%
100 + 12.5 = 40% + 5%
112.5 = 45%
