Approximately 59% of films are rated r. if 930 films were recently rated, how many were rated r?

About 549

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to set it up as a proportion, setting the percent and the number of movies equal.

X - Number of R-Rated movies.

Now, cross multiply, multiplying the numerator of the left and the denominator to the right, and vice versa.

Now, solve the inequality.

Now, round up.

Let's start off with some basics to get you familiar with the term remainder.

7 / 3 = 2.333r   or 2 remainder 1, because 3 fits into 7 twice, with 1 left over.
7/4 = 1 remainder 3
8/4 = 2 remainder 0, however we don't say remainder 0, we just say '2'.

So 860 / 14 = 61.428 (3DP). We can then multiply 61 by 14, and that difference will be the remainder.
14* 61 = 854. 
860 - 854 = 6.

The remainder of 860 divided by 14 is 6
