A forest covers 68,000 acres. A survey finds that 0.8% of the forest is old-growth trees. How many acres of old-growth trees are there?

544 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

There is 100% in a whole.

1% is 1/100th of the whole, or 0.01 of it. We get this because 1/100 = 1/100 = 0.01

Similarly, 0.8/100 = 0.008. We then multiply the decimal by the total to get

(0.008) ( 68000) = 544 acres

5.5

step-by-step explanation:

$25

step-by-step explanation:

25 - 4.50 = 20.5

20.5 / 2 = 10.25

10.25 + 10 = 20.25

20.25 - 12.50 = 7.75

therefore the answer is $25 as shown as the first number.
