How do you use proportions to solve percent problems​

Mathematics
1 answer:
exis [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

EXAMPLE #1:

What number is 75% of 4?   (or   Find 75% of 4.)

The PERCENT always goes over 100.

   (It's a part of the whole 100%.)

4 appears with the word of:

   It's the WHOLE and goes on the bottom.

A proportion showing one fraction  with PART as the numerator and 4 as the denominator equal to another fraction with 75 as the numerator and 100 as the denominator.

We're trying to find the missing PART (on the top).

In a proportion the cross-products are equal:   So 4 times 75 is equal to 100 times the PART.

The missing PART equals 4 times 75 divided by 100.

(Multiply the two opposite corners with numbers; then divide by the other number.)

4 times 75 = 100 times the part

300 = 100 times the part

300/100 = 100/100 times the part

3 =   the part

A proportion showing the denominator,  4, times the diagonally opposite 75; divided by  100.

Which is the graph of 2x + 3y >-3?
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The third graph is correct for the inequality 2x + 3y > -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the graph is –2/3.

The y-intercept is –1

The area above the dashed be line is shaded.

To verify, choose a coordinate in the shaded area, substitute the values for x and y. Calculate and check.

For example: (1,1)

2(1) + 3(1) > –3

2 + 3 > –3

5 > –3 True.
