ANSWER: 46.8
39% of 120
The word "of" means multiplied. So you will have to multiply 39% x 120
To do that, first step is to change the percent (39%) into a decimal
39% = 0.39 (You move the decimal twice to the left, not right)
There's an invisible decimal behind 9 so ALWAYS move it twice.
= 39(.)⇒ 0.39
Then your final step is to multiply
120 x 0.39
1 2 0
x 0 . 3 9 ← notice this decimal

Answer:
y = 9.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both triangles are said to be similar, the proportion or ratio of the sides of both triangles would be equal.
Therefore, 39/y = 23/5.75 = 35/8.75
Let's find y
39/y = 23/5.75
==>Cross multiply
39*5.75 = 23*y
224.25 = 23y
==>Divide both sides by 23
224.25/23 = y
9.75 = y
y = 9.75
Check:
Thus,
39/9.75 = 23/5.75 = 35/8.75 = 4
Our answer y, which is 9.75, is correct.
