The total number of people surveyed can be calculated using the formula: 120 / 0.60 = 200 people .

The amount of the discount is 350 * 0.35 = $122.5, making the sale price 350 - 122.5 = $227.5 .

If 60% of the children are girls, then 40% are boys. Therefore, the number of boys in the class is 30 * 0.40 = 12 boys .

The sales tax amount is 64 * 0.05 = $3.2, and the total cost after adding sales tax is 64 + 3.2 = $67.20. None of the options in the document match this calculated value exactly, indicating a possible error in the options or question .

If 80% can swim, 20% cannot swim. Thus, 30 * 0.20 = 6 children cannot swim .

The percentage loss in weight is calculated by ((48 - 41) / 48) * 100 = (7 / 48) * 100 ≈ 14.58%, which is approximately 15% .

Toronto FC played 36 games and lost 25% of them. The number of games lost is 36 * 0.25 = 9 games. Therefore, they didn't lose 36 - 9 = 27 games, meaning they won 27 games .

The percentage reduction is ((15 - 9.75) / 15) * 100 = (5.25 / 15) * 100 ≈ 35% .

The discount on the toy car is 50 * 0.10 = $5, so the sale price is 50 - 5 = $45 .

The percentage increase is calculated as: ((243 - 195) / 195) * 100 = (48 / 195) * 100 ≈ 24.62%, which is approximately 25% .
