Jerome is a co-owner of a small company and received 1/3 of the company’s profits this year. What were the company’s overall profits if Jerome made $150,000? Type an equation and solve.

The answer is

1. 0.3 •4 is the same as 4 groups of 0.32. 7•0.8 is the same as 7 groups of 0.83. it increases by 0.5 every time, so 0.5x4 it increases by 0.9 every time, so 0.9x5. 0.9•12=10.86. 0.47•5=2.35i can finish the next ones in a separate post

The answer is c. 7 (i think) i’m almost sure though
