How to convert percentage to decimals.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Darina [25.2K]3 years ago
6 0

Step-by-step explanation: To write a percent as a decimal, first remember that a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100.

If we want to convert any percent to a decimal, you want to think of the percent as a ratio of the percent to 100 or the percent divided by 100.

Dividing by 100 moves the decimal point 2 places to the left so we will move the decimal point 2 places to the right to get our answer.

Let's look at an example.

<em>Write the following percent as a decimal</em>. 9%

We know that we can change a percent to a decimal by simply moving the decimal point 2 places to the left.

So in this problem, to write 9% as a decimal, we simply move the decimal point 2 places to the left and fill in the missing position with a zero.

So 9% can be written as the decimal <em>.</em>09 or 0<em>.</em>09.

A common mistake in this problem is to write 9% as the decimal 0.9 but remember to move the decimal point 2 places to the left so our answer is 0<em>.</em>09.

Suppose a triangle has sides a, b, and c, and the angle opposite the side of length a is acute. What must be true?
Ket [755]
3pi/7 < pi/2 because 3/7 < 1/2, and pi/2 is a right angle. Conclusion: the angle opposite side a is an acute angle. In this situation the triangle could be a right triangle, in which case C would be true, but it does not have to be a right triangle, so don´t choose C. Similarly, it could be an acute triangle, in which case B would be true, but it does not have to be, so don´t choose B. Also, A says the angle opposite side a is obtuse, which is false. So don´t choose A. That leaves D, which says the angle opposite side a is acute, which we know is true. So the answer is <span>D. b^2 + c^2 > a^2</span>

The price of a ring was decreased by 25% to £390. what was the price before the decrease?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The original price was 520

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, we first need to note that we paid 75% of the price. This is because we took 25% off from the original. Now we take the price we paid and divide it by the percentage of it which we paid. This will give us the original price.

390/75% = Total

390/.75 = Total

520 = Total

The equation y = mx + b is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation slove y = mx + b for m
Andrei [34K]
To solve for m means to get it alone on a side
so..

y = mx + b
y - b = mx
\frac{y - b}{x}  = m

A horticulturist wants to improve the soil quality in a garden by adding 120 pounds of nitrogen and 54 pounds of potassium. A pa
eimsori [14]

x and y are the packs of organic and inorganic fertilizer, respectively.

pounds of nitrogen added = 2x + 6y = 120

pounds of potassium added = 3x + 2y = 54

eliminate the y terms. subtract the first equation from 3 times the second equation.

9x + 6y = 162

-2x - 6y = -120

------------------

7x = 42

x = 6

y = 18
