A percent is a proportion of something that can come from a variety of different numbers depending on what you are measuring. 14.5% is not the same as 14.5 because the 14.5% isn’t necessarily 14.5 of a certain amount. For example, $14.50 of the $100 you have could be from your grandparents; making 14.5% of your money from your grandparents but a deposit of $145 into a bank account that already has $855 would mean that 14.5% of the money in that bank account was from that deposit but $145 does not equal $14.50. They just have the same proportion just different on different scales.

Hope this is what you were looking for.

a painter bought 8 gallons of paint just enough to cover 2 rooms. One room is twice the size of the other and requires only 2 co
e-lub [12.9K]
So, he's got 8 gallons of paint, to paint the two rooms, of the two rooms, one is twice as big as the other

now, "x" is how many gallons to paint the larger room with only one coat, however, the larger room uses 2 coats, so, the larger room uses 2x of paint
now, the client declined to paint the smaller one

so hmmm as I read... well, we dunno how many coats will go to the smaller room for one, we know the larger will use 2 coats, or 2x.. if we assume the smaller room was going to use say 1 coat or 1/2x

then one can say the painter bought enough for both rooms, 1coat for the small one and 2coats for the larger one

so, the paint the larger room, you'll 2x of paint, for 2coatsand to paint the smaller room, you'll need 1/2 x, because x gallons is how much is needed for the larger room, but the larger room is twice as big, thus the smaller room uses 1/2 of that in gallons

thus, with those assumptions, that the small room will use only 1 coat
\bf \cfrac{1}{2}x+2x=8\implies \cfrac{5x}{2}=8\implies x=\cfrac{16}{5}
that's who many gallons are needed for 1 coat in the larger roomrecall "x" is 1coat for the larger room

now, the client decides to skip the smaller roomso, the painter will only need 2x gallons then

\bf 2x\implies 2\cdot \cfrac{16}{5}\implies \cfrac{32}{5}\implies 6.4\ gallons

he bought 8 gallons, 8 - 6.4, he's got left 1.6 gallons
