279 miles (100%-19.07%= 80.93%= 0.8093, so multiply 0.8093 by 345 to get your answer)
The distance from NYC to Raleigh is 345 miles, and the distance from Philadelphia to Raleigh is 19.07% less. What is the distance between the latter two cities (to the nearest hundredth)?
18.68 (0.04 times 467)
What is 4% of 467?

Having drawn out 7 gallons of water from a barrel, I find that there are 28 gallons left. What percent of the whole did I draw?
12.5%
5 is what percent of 40?
11.54
3 is 26% of what (answer with 4 sig figs)?
68.18% (The equation is 15 = x times 22, so divide 15 by 22 to get the answer)
15 is what percentage of 22?
59.82% (179-112=67, then divide 67 by 112 (the smaller original number) to get 0.5982 or 59.82%)

I bought a new car for $24,000 and sold it 10 years later for $3,000. What was my loss in percent?
$3.24 (This is a ratio. Let x equal the cost of the 5lb bag of sugar, so the proportion reads: 4/$2.59 = 5/x. Cross multiply, so 5($2.59)= $12.95. This changes the equation to 4x=$12.95. Solve by dividing 12.95 by 4 to get x=$3.24.)
If 4lb of sugar costs $2.59, how much should 5lb cost? [Show Less]
