A garden measuring 15 by 24 feet is to be completely surrounded by a fence. Fencing costs $2 per foot. What is the total cost to fence the entire garden?

$156

The fence is to go around the perimeter of the garden. For a garden that is 15 by 24, the perimeter is (15 \u00D7 2) + (24 \u00D7 2), or 78 feet. The fencing will cost 78 \u00D7 $2, or $156.

Sarah's car gets an average of 27.4 miles per gallon. On average, how far can Sarah drive her car on a tankful of 15 gallons?

−14<−5
This is a true statement.

12% of a number N is 36. What is the value of N?

300

1212If 12% of N is 36, it means that if N is multiplied by 0.12, the answer is 36. Put this in the form of an equation and solve. Use the fraction equivalent of 12% because simplifying will make the arithmetic easier.

12N = 3600 both sides multiplied by 100

Both sides divided by 12

N = 300
