Maria needs to make a total of 80 deliveries this week. so far she has completed 48 of them. what percentage of her total deliveries had maria completed?

What I always do to solve this, is find a common factor for each number first.

Usually 4 or 5 works best. I'll use 4.

4 goes into 80 20 times, which means that 4 = 5%  of 80.

If 4 = 5%, and 48 = 12 x 4,    then 48 must equal 60% of 80.

(Another way to solve this problem is:  simplify 48 / 80.  This simplifies to 3/5.

3/5 = 60%)!

arithmetic sequence

step-by-step explanation:

given that a sequence has terms as

19, 15, 11,

this is represented on a graph

the pattern indicates that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with i term

a=19 and common difference d =-4

any general term

thus the sequence is reduced by 4 for each successive term starting from 1 and nth term is

24-5n.

first negative term would start after 5th term

5th term =24-25< 0

from 5th term onwards the sequence would be negative.

the correct answer is the second option
