The dragon kite co. Makes red, green and blue kites. One week they made 38% red kites, 25% green kite and the rest blue kites. If they made 296 blue kites, how many kites did they make in all?

Add the percent of kites that were NOT blue

38+25=63

100%-63%=37%

37% of x = 296

.37x=296

x=296/.37

x=800

they made a total of 800 kites

5. 60 people each bought $2 lottery tickets. 7 of these people won $5, 3 of them won %10 and 1 of them won $20. The total amount of money won, is what percent of the total amount spent on the tickets?

im going to assume that 3 of them won $10, not %10

find the amount spent: 60*2 = $120

total $5 winners: 7, so 7*5 = $35 to those winners

total $10 winners: 3, so 3*10 = $30 to those winners

total $20 winners: 1, so 1*20 = $20 to those winners

add up all the winnings:

35+30+20 = $85

what percent of $85 out of $120

X of 120=85

120x=85

x=85/120

the percent is roughly 70.8%
