I've been waiting for someone to ask this question. It's one of my favorite questions to answer.
percent means out of 100 so 1% = 1/100 and 40%=40/100 or 1/25
so for percent of a number, 'of' means multiply so 40% of 500= 40/100 times 500 or 20000/100 or 200
if you multiply a fraction by its recipricol (the number fliped upside down) the you will get 1 so if you multiply 1/2 by 2/1 then you will get 1
thus
percent is out of 100 so 1%=1/100 25%=25/100
if you represent 45 out of something as 45/x then you multiply it by the reciprocal of the fraction that is supposed to be equal (1/2 =2/4) then you will get 1
so 45/x times reciprocal of 100/25 then you will get 1/1 or 4500/25x
so you divide to find x and get 180
so 45 is 25% of 180
The following is extra
as stated above 'of' can be taken as multiply so
45 is 25% of 180 can be rewriten as
45=25/100 times 180
but we don't know that 180 is the answer so we replace it with x then solve for x
Answer:
4:3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say that the number we multiply to get to 1200 from 900 is x.
900x=1200
Now, we divide both sides by 900:
x=1200/900
x=4/3
The number is 4/3. In ratio form, this is 4:3
Answer:
f(x)= -2x²- 4x + 5 when x= - 3
f(-3)= -2(-3)²- 4(-3) + 5
f(-3)= -2(9)+12+5
f(-3)= -18+12+5
f(-3)= -18+17
f(-3)= <u>-1</u>
<h3><u>f</u><u>(</u><u>-</u><u>3</u><u>)</u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>-1</u> is the right answer.</h3>
