27 is 3 times as many as what number?

9

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this problem, we can translate the question into an equation.

First we have 27, "is" means is equal to so we write an equals sign, and since we don't know what number, we can put x to represent this.

Now we have the equation 27 = 3x.

Since x is being multiplied by 3, to get x by itself, we divide both sides of the equation by 3. On the right the 3's cancel and we have x. On the left, 27 divided by 3 is 9 so 9 = x

This means that 27 is 3 times as many as 9.

RM 687.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of members = 257

Each member makes = RM 25

So, total money = 257×25= RM 6425

1- 45 % of 6425 = 45 /100 × 6425=RM 2891.25

So, RM 2891.25  was spent for the year-end banquet. Hence remaining money after this expenditure = 6425-2891.25= RM 3533.75

2- 65 % of this remaining money = 65 /100 × 3533.75= RM 2296.45

So, RM 2296.5 were spent on souvenirs. Hence remaining amount = 3533.75 - 2296.45 =  RM 1237.3

3- Out of this remaining money RM 550 were spent for club jersey booking fees.

So, amount left = 1237.3 - 550 = RM 687.3
