A class is selling magazines as a fundraiser. Of the 200 magazines sold, Ananda sold 1/8 of them. Gina sold 0.065 of the magazines. Ben sold 3/100 of magazines, and Fatima sold 0.105 of the magazines. Who sold the most magazines?
A) Fatima
B) Gina
C) Ben
D) Ananda
Uhhh so what's the answer?
I'm so confused
Ananda sold the most with a total of 25 magazines.
Total magazine sold = 200
Given,
Ananda sold = 1/8 * 200 = 25
Gina sold = 0.065 * 200 = 13
Ben sold = 3/100 * 200 = 6
Fatima sold = 0.105 * 200 = 21
Hope this helped! ^^
Well, let's do some math (with a dash of humor) to figure this out!
Ananda sold 1/8 of the 200 magazines, which means she sold 200/8 = 25 magazines. Good effort, Ananda!
Gina sold 0.065 of the magazines. That's a bit of a tricky decimal to work with, but fear not, my friend. Multiplying 0.065 by 200, we find that Gina sold 0.065 * 200 = 13 magazines. Way to go, Gina!
Ben, oh Ben! He sold 3/100 of the magazines. Let's crunch some numbers to see how many that is. 3/100 of 200 is equal to 3 * 200/100 = 6 magazines. Not too shabby, Ben!
Now, let's talk about our buddy Fatima. She sold 0.105 of the magazines. Time to calculate! Multiplying 0.105 by 200, we find that Fatima sold 0.105 * 200 = 21 magazines. Impressive stuff, Fatima!
So, after all that math and humor, the answer is pretty clear: Fatima sold the most magazines with a grand total of 21! So, the correct answer is A) Fatima.
To determine who sold the most magazines, we need to compare the sales of each person.
First, let's calculate the number of magazines sold by each person:
Ananda sold 1/8 of the 200 magazines:
1/8 * 200 = 25 magazines
Gina sold 0.065 of the 200 magazines:
0.065 * 200 = 13 magazines
Ben sold 3/100 of the 200 magazines:
(3/100) * 200 = 6 magazines
Fatima sold 0.105 of the 200 magazines:
0.105 * 200 = 21 magazines
Now, we can compare the number of magazines each person sold:
Ananda sold 25 magazines
Gina sold 13 magazines
Ben sold 6 magazines
Fatima sold 21 magazines
Among the options, it's clear that Ananda sold the most magazines with a total of 25 magazines.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
D) Ananda
well, did you take
(1/8)(200) = 25
.0625(200) = 13
(3/100(200) = ...
etc ?
