To find what the number is, we need to set up proportional fractions.
Currently, we have 8% of a number is 20.
To set up our fractions, put 100% under 8% as a fraction first.
It should look like this: 8/100 (hint: per-cent means per-hundred).
Now, we have 20 out of a number, x. This is because we are claiming that 20 is 8% of a number (if we just reword the question without changing the concept).
It should look like this: 20/x.
Our proportional fractions are:
20/x = 8/100.
To solve for this, we need to cross-multiply the denominator of 8/100 (bottom number, 100) with the numerator of 20/x (top number, 20).
This product equation should look like this:
20 x 100 (when simplified, we get 2000).
Now, we need to cross multiply the numerator of 8/100 (top number, 8) with the denominator of 20/x (bottom number, x).
This product equation should look like this:
8x.
Now that we've cross-multiplied, set our two products as an equation.
8x = 2000.
To solve for x, divide both sides by 8 (remember, what you do to one side of an equation, you must do it to the other).
8x / 8 = x
2000 / 8 = 250.
x = 250
Your final answer is:
8% of 250 is 20.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
d) angle 6 is alternate interior angle to angle 3
e) angle 2 is alternate exterior angle to angle 7
<u>Answer</u>:
A. y = 
+ 3
<u>Explanation</u>:
slope: 
: 
: 
equation: y - y1 = m( x - x1 )
y - 1 = ( x - 3 )
y = + 3
The cost equation has a constant rate of change, so this is a line of the form:
y=mx+b, you are told that there is a flat fee of $5 and an hourly rate of $2 so
y=2x+5
The y-intercept (the value of y when x=0) is 5. The point (0,5) on the line.
Distance traveled in the first hour = 50 miles
Distance traveled in the second hour = 72 miles
Distance traveled in the third hour = 46 miles
Total distance = 50 + 72 + 46 = 168 miles
23 miles = 1 gallon
168 ÷ 23 = 7.30 gallons (nearest hundredth)
Answer: 7.30 gallons
