Answer:
1) 25%
2) 555.56
3) 10%
4) 700
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 35 is what percent of 140
This is calculated as:
35/140 × 100
= 25%
2) 250 is 45% of what number?
Let the number be represented as x
This is calculated as:
45% of x = 250
45/100 × x = 250
45x /100 = 250
Cross Multiply
45x = 250 × 100
x = 25000/45
x = 555.55555556
x = 555.56
3) 74 is what percent of 740?
Let the percentage be represented by x
x% × 740 = 74
Divide both side by 740
x% = 74/740
x% = 0.1
Converting to percentage
0.1 × 100 = 10%
4) 350 is 50% of what number?
Let the number the represented by x
This is calculated as:
50% of x = 350
50/100 × x = 350
50x /100 = 350
Cross Multiply
50x = 350 × 100
x = 35000/50
x = 700
x = 555.56
Answer:
2x + 1 = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Problem 1
Answer: Closer to 1
Explanation:
There are 20 gumballs total. Half of this is 20/2 = 10 gumballs. If there's more than 10 of one color, then the probability of getting that color is closer to 1, than it is to 0. Here we have 12 pink which is greater than 10, so that's why the answer is closer to 1.
================================================
Problem 2
Answer: Closer to 0
Explanation:
The amount of green (3) is less than 10, so that's why the probability is closer to 0 than it is to 1. We can see that 3/20 = 0.15 is less than 0.50
================================================
Problem 3
Answer: Closer to 0
Explanation:
We have a similar situation compared to problem 2. This time we have 5/20 = 0.25 which is less than 0.50
================================================
Problem 4
Answer: 48% chance; fairly likely
Explanation:
We have 12 green out of 25 total, so the probability of choosing green is 12/25 = 0.48 = 48%. While this probability is not over 50%, I still say it's fairly likely considering the other colors lead to smaller probabilities. For instance, purple has a chance of 6/25 = 0.24 = 24% and orange has a probability of 2/25 = 0.04 = 4%, both of which are smaller than 48%
