Percent formula : is / of = % / 100

16 is what percent of 72...

is = 16
of = 72
% = x

sub into the formula
16/72 = x / 100
cross multiply because this is a proportion
(72)(x) = (100)(16)
72x = 1600
x = 1600/72
x = 22.2 % <===

The two angles are 60 degrees and (x-20) degrees and formed complementary angles as shown in the picture below. Solve for x.
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The value of <em>x</em> is 50°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles are two angles whose sum is 90°.

One of the complementary angles is, 60°.

And the other is, (x - 20°).

Compute the value of <em>x</em> as follows:

Complementary 1 + Complementary 2 = 90°

            60°            +        (x - 20°)           = 90°

                                        (x - 20°)           = 30°

                                             x                 = 50°

Thus, the value of <em>x</em> is 50°.
