At the spring festival there are 22 attractions that are split between food and entertainment.  Out of these attractions 6 are food stations.  What percent of the attractions have food?  


Lucy spent 54 Euros on a new pair of gym shoes including tax.  If tax was 10 percent, what was the cost of Lucy's shoes before tax?  

Answers:  
1. $350 dollars for Darlene.  210*5=1050  
1050/3 = 350
2.  27% were food stations  6/22= .272
.273*100 = 27.3%  
3. 49 Euros before tax.   54=1.10x    54/1.10= 49.09
