How do u do percentage​

Mathematics
1 answer:
lbvjy [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ill try to break this down, simply:

When we talk about percentages we are talking about how much part of something we have and the percent sign is a just a symbol representing that.

Lets say we have 2 out of 10 apples and we need to convert this to a percentage

First think about how many apples we have in total... and that would be 10, and then how many apples we currently have being 2:

So if we put the part that we have over the whole thing we get:

\frac{2}{10}

So now lets turn this into a decimal, when its something over 10 its really easy, all we have to do is move the decimal back one place!

So we have 2 and if we move the decimal back one place we get .2 or 0.2

Now we have our decimal, to convert this into a percentage all we have to do is multiply our decimal by 100

So:

0.2 x 100 = 20%

All you do when you multiply by 100 is move the decimal back over 2 places one place for each zero so:

0.2 --> 2. --> 20.

Which gives us again 20%

3x+y=4<br> 2x+y=5<br> solve using linear combination
Advocard [28]
Idk what linear combination is but you can solve this way:
3x+y=4
-2x-y=-5
x=-1
3(-1)+y=4
-3+y=4
y=7
So x=-1 and y=7

3/4 picked apples. If 120 students picked apples, how many picked bananas
Oxana [17]

Answer:

40 students picked bananas

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 picked apples    

1 - 3/4 = 1/4 picked bananas

3/4x = 120

Multiply both sides of the equation by 4/3

4/3 * (3/4x) = 120/1 * (4/3)

x = 480/3

x = 160

                                               Total of 160 students

                                               /                                   \

                                   120 = apples                  160 - 120 = 40 = bananas

40 students picked bananas

Hope this helps :)

Find the length of the arc (AB) Leave your answer in terms of Pi
butalik [34]
The formula is L = 2 pi r * (angle measure / 360). We have everything we need to solve this, the angle is 90 and the radius is 12: L = 2 pi (12) (90/360). Do the work inside the parenthesis first to get : L = 2 pi (12)(.25). Solving for L: L = 6pi
