Answer 2

Answer:

13.Ans: 9 pickles

14.Ans: 96 toothpicks

Step-by-step explanation:

13.  A jar of pickles contains= 12 pickles

      Percentage of Nita eats= 25%

      No. of pickles Nita eats = 25% × 12

                                               = $\frac{25}{100}$   ×  12

                                               = $\frac{300}{100}$   = 3 pickles

      No.of pickles left in the jar = 12 -3

                                                   = 9 pickles

14.   Total no. of toothpicks              =  120 toothpicks

       Percentage of toothpicks used= 20%

       No. of toothpicks used              =  20% × 120

                                                            =   $\frac{20}{100}$   × 120

                                                            =   $\frac{2400}{100}$  =  24 toothpicks

       No. of toothpicks left                  =  120 - 24

                                                             = 96 toothpicks
