They watch 30% of the movie and then take a break. They then watch the remaining 84 minutes. How long was the movie?  \n70% of the movie = 84 min. 70% = 0.7. So 0.7 x movie length = 84 minutes. Movie length = 84 ÷ 0.7 = 120 minutes or 2 hours.  \n3) Captain’s Autos sells 22 used cars on Monday, 17 cars on Tuesday and 15 cars on Wednesday. This was 60% of the number of sales for the week.  \nHow many cars did they sell altogether that week?  \nMon-Wed sales = 22+17+15 = 54 cars. So 60% of sales = 54 cars.  \nSo 10% of sales = 54 ÷ 6 = 9 cars  \nTotal Sales = 10% x 10 = 9 cars x 10 = 90 cars. There were 90 car sales in the week.  \n4) Sally spends 20% of her weekly budget on food, and 25% on rent. She has $330 leftover.  \nHow much was her budget?  \nShe spends 45% on food and rent.  \nSo 55% of her budget = $330.  \nSo 5% of her budget = $330 ÷ 11 = $33 So Budget = 5% x 20 = $33 x 20 = $660 . Her weekly budget is $660 .  \n5) There are 40 6th graders and 28 7th gradersin a group. 15% of the 6th graders and 25% of the 7th graders are vegan.  \nHow many vegans are in the group altogether?  \n15% of 40 = 0.15 x 40 = 6  \n25% of 28 = 0.25 x 28 = 7  \nTotal number of vegan = 6 + 7 = 13  \n6) Tyger and Newton have a long jump competition. Tyger jumps 20% further than Newton. If Newton jumps 475 cm, how far does Tyger jump?  \n20% of 475 = 0.2 x 475 = 95  \nSo Tyger jumps 475 + 95 = 570 cm or 5.7 m","cbCaihW77pGQ2e73","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihW77pGQ2e73","pdf",180298,"English","# Percentage Word Problems 6.2B\n## Problem Set 1–6\n## Answer Key 1–6","[{\"question\":\"How do you find the percentage of pies that were apple or cherry?\",\"answer\":\"Add the apple and cherry pies, then divide by the total pies sold and multiply by 100 to get the percentage.\"},{\"question\":\"How can you determine the movie length from a watched percentage and remaining minutes?\",\"answer\":\"Convert the watched/remaining percentages into a fraction of the whole, then divide the given remaining (or watched) minutes by that fraction to get the total movie length.\"},{\"question\":\"How do you calculate a weekly budget when food and rent percentages leave a fixed remainder?\",\"answer\":\"Combine the food and rent percentages to find the spent portion, subtract from 100% to get the remainder percentage, then set that remainder percentage equal to the given dollars to solve for 100% (the full budget).\"}]","PERCENTAGE WORD PROBLEMS 6.2B - Find the answers to these percentage word problems | PDF",1792673746]
