Part B-30%

Answer 2

Answer:

Part A : 330

Part B: 600

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first part, you need to turn the 30% into a decimal which means dividing by 100

that makes it 0.3

99 ÷ 0.3

you can do long division and make it easier by turning the decimal into a whole number. 0.3 × 10 = 3

but because you did 0.3 × 10 to get 3, you also have to × 10 to the 99 which makes it 990

$\frac{990}{3}$

Once you divide 990 with 3, you get 330

now you have to do 330 ÷ 55%

you do the same thing and turn the 55% into a decimal

once you do that, you get 0.55

do the same thing again and turn the decimal into a whole number

you have to do 0.55 × 100, you get 55

you also have to do 330 × 100 in where you get 33000

long division again $\frac{33000}{55}$

you can do 55 × 6 which gets you 330

now you only have 00

you add the 00s to 6

and you get 600

(i am so sorry i think this explanation is a bit confusing)
