Answer:
There are 16 yellow houses in the neighborhood.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that:
2/5 = 40% of the houses are painted yellow
1 - 2/5 = 3/5 = 60% of the houses are not painted yellow
If there are 24 houses that are not painted yellow, how many yellow houses are in the neighborhood?
The first step is finding the total number of houses in the neighborhood.
We have that 24 are not painted yellow, and this is 60%(0.6 decimal). How much is 100%?
We solve a rule of three
24 houses - 0.6
x houses - 1
There are 40 houses. Of those, 40% are painted yellow.
0.4*40 = 16.
There are 16 yellow houses in the neighborhood.
