How do you make 16 over 2000 a percent?

We must multiply both numerator and denominator by a number such that the new denominator is 100.

So, we want to perform the following transformation:

\dfrac{16}{2000} \to \dfrac{16x}{2000x} = \dfrac{16x}{100}

So, in particular, we want 2000x = 100, which yields

x = \dfrac{100}{2000} = \dfrac{1}{20}

We also have to multiply the numerator by that quantity, obtaining

16 \cdot \dfrac{1}{20} = \dfrac{16}{20} = \dfrac{4}{5} = 0.8

So, the answer is

\dfrac{16}{2000} =\dfrac{16\cdot\frac{1}{20}}{2000\cdot\frac{1}{20}} =\dfrac{0.8}{100}

Which means that 16 over 2000 is 0.8%

Two lines, C and D, are represented by the equations given below:
defon
Substitue y=3x+2 to the y in y=x+10.
3x+2= x+10

Subtract 2 to both sides.
3x=x+8

Subtract x to both sides.
2x=8

Divide both sides by 2
2x/2 = 8/2

You are left with x = 4

Choose one equation and replace x by 4.
y = (4) + 10
y= 14

Now, you have x = 4 and y= 14. So, your ordered pair is (4,14) because both lines pass through that point.

If you do not want to do this solution, I suggest you graph it using the slope.
