1. We assume, that the number 320 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task. 
<span>2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for. </span>
<span>3. If 320 is 100%, so we can write it down as 320=100%. </span>
<span>4. We know, that x is 45% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=45%. </span>
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 320=100%
2) x=45%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
320/x=100%/45%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 45% of 320

320/x=100/45
<span>(320/x)*x=(100/45)*x       - </span>we multiply both sides of the equation by x
<span>320=2.22222222222*x       - </span>we divide both sides of the equation by (2.22222222222) to get x
<span>320/2.22222222222=x </span>
<span>144=x </span>
x=144

<span>now we have: </span>
<span>45% of 320=144</span>

Well the percent sign, %, literally means out of 100. So, you are multiplying like this:
.45 • 320
=
144

Hello, how can I find the slope of 4y+6x=2?
omeli [17]

You solve for y

4y=-6x+2

y=-6/4x+2

y=-2/3x+2


Slope is -2/3, the number in front of x is the slope.

Here is a list of spelling-test results.Calculate the mean.14,19,19,20,16,18,15,17,12
makvit [3.9K]

To find the mean (average), we first need to add up all the test scores (14 + 19 + 19 + 20 + 16 + 18 + 15 + 17 + 12 = 150). Then, we need to divide that number (150) by the number of numbers in the data set (9 in this case). So the mean of these test scores is about 16.6666666667.
