1) 550/77000
divide both by 550
=1/140

2)x/50=3/2
cross multiply
150=2x
x=75

3)6/100 increase
3/50 increase
106+106*.06= $112.36

1. Vic owns 550/77000 of the company = 55/7700 (divide by 11) = 5/700 (divide by 5)= 1/140

2. US$2 = CN$2
so US$50 = 50/(2/3) = 50*(3/2) = CN$75

3. The bond increased by 6/100 or 3/50. Provided this pattern continues, it will be worth $112.

1. What you have to do is make a fraction. VIc owns 550/77000 shares. This reduces to 55/ 7700 which further reduces to 1/140.

2. 1 american dollar is worth 3/2 of a Canadian dollar. Multiply $50 by 3/2 which gives you $75.

3. I don'tknow.
