First calculate 15% of the purchase price: $420 * 0.15 = $63. Subtract this loss from the original price: $420 - $63 = $357 .

First, calculate how many cakes go to the hotel: 600 cakes * 0.18 = 108 cakes. Then, find out how many go to the supermarket since 3/2 means multiplying 600 by 1.5: 600 cakes * 1.5 = 900 cakes, which seems incorrect since it exceeds the total. Therefore, something might have been misinterpreted or there's additional context needed. Thus, if following only the given distribution, the cakes should be reduced from the total: 600 - 108 - 300 = 192 cakes theoretically; yet a deeper error check in assumptions or distributions will clarify .

To calculate Valentina's mass at age 12, start with her original mass at age 10, which is 32 kg. Calculate 45% of 32 kg: 32 kg * 0.45 = 14.4 kg. Then add this increase to her original mass: 32 kg + 14.4 kg = 46.4 kg .

If the sale price is 75% of the original price (since reduced by 25%), divide the sale price by 0.75 to find the original price: $120 / 0.75 = $160 .

Calculate the percentage of occupied seats by multiplying the total number of seats by the percentage occupied: 1540 seats * 0.55 = 847 seats occupied .

A 300% increase on a number means adding 300% of the number to itself. Therefore, 40 x 3 = 120, resulting in 40 + 120 = 160, effectively represented by 40 x 4 .

To increase 42 by 16%, calculate 16% of 42: 42 * 0.16 = 6.72. Add this to the original 42 to get the new amount: 42 + 6.72 = 48.72 .

Divide Kyle’s score by the total possible score and multiply by 100 to get the percentage: (84 / 96) * 100 = 87.5% .

Determine the increase in mass: 30 kg - 25 kg = 5 kg. Then, calculate the percentage increase: (5 kg / 25 kg) * 100 = 20% .

To express 26g as a percentage of 208g, calculate (26 / 208) * 100 = 12.5% .
