Answer 1

1/8 of x = 41.5

X = 8 ×41.5

X = 332

69% 0f 332 =69/100 ×332 = 229.08

Answer 2

Answer:

(a)229.08

Explanation:

First, we get the number:

Assume that the number is x

We are given that:

1/8 of x is 41.5

This means that:

$\frac{1}{8}x = 41.5\\ \\  x=41.5*8 = 332$

Now, we want to get 69% of the number we have:

65% of x = 0.69*x

               = 0.69 * 332 = 229.08

Hope this helps :)
