80 gifts

Step-by-step explanation:

Maddison hid 12 of her sister's birthday gifts around the house. If this was 15% of the gifts, how many total gifts did her sister have?

Let the Total gifts that her sister has be represented by x

Hence:

15% of x = 12

15/100 × x = 12

15x /100 = 12

Cross Multiply

15x = 100 × 12

15x = 1200

x = 1200/15

x = 80 gifts

Hence, the total gifts her sister has is 80 gifts

80 total gifts

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

Maddison hid 12 of her sister's birthday gifts

we are told that 12 gift is 15% of the total gifts

let the total gifts be x

so

=15/100*x= 12

=0.15x= 12

divide both sides by 0.15

x= 12/0.15

x=80 total gifts

Juwan made round trips to visit his grandmother

Comparison is an effort to compare two or more objects in terms of shape or size, or number

Proportional Comparisons are comparisons of two or more numbers where one number increases, the other numbers also increase

 Can be formulated

 so that if:

 x = 2

 then

 While the reversal value comparison is the comparison of two or more numbers where one number increases, the other number decreases in value

 Can be formulated

so that if:

 x = 2

 then

The time needed for Juwan to park near his grandmother's house took 35 minutes

From parking to her grandmother's house takes 4 minutes to walk

So the total time needed for Juwan to get to his grandmother's house:

35 minutes + 4 minutes = 39 minutes

So one visit takes = 39 minutes away + 39 minutes home = 78 minutes

While the total time spent by Juwan in a week for visiting = 5 hours and 12 minutes

5 hours 12 minutes = (5 hours x 60 minutes) + 12 minutes = 312 minutes

Then a comparison can be made

1 visit = 78 minutes

x visit = 312 minutes

Divide 80 in a ratio of 3: 2
