A.  Write 45% as a rate per 100 and then reduce the fraction to lowest terms.

so, 45/100=9/20 lowest term after reducing the friction.(divide 45 and 100 by 5 then get 9 and 20)

B. How many problems was Yolanda assigned? 

let total problems Yolanda assigned = x

45% of x is 27

so, x* 45/100=27

x=27*100/45

x=2700/45

x=60 (total questions assigned)

C. How many problems does Yolanda still have to do?

total problems assigned= finished problems + unfinished problems

unfinished problems= total problems assigned - finished problems

                                      =60-27

                                      =33 

so, Yolanda still have to do 33 problems .
