Given:
A number 72.
To Find:
12% of 72.
Solution:
The given problem can be solved using the concepts of percentages and their applications.
1. The given number is 72.
2. x% of a number n is given by the formula,
=> x% of n = ,
3. x% of a number can also be defined as x parts of 100 multiplied by the given number.
4. 12% of 72 can be calculated using the above number,
=> 12% of 72 = 
=> 0.12 x 72,
=> 864/100,
=> 8.64.
Therefore, 12% of 72 is 8.64

Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
sin theta = opposite side / hypotenuse
sin 53 = 4/x
Multiply each side by x
x sin 53 = 4/x *x
x sin 53 = 4
 Divide each side by sin 53
x sin 53 / sin 53 = 4 / sin 53
x = 4 /sin 53
x = 5.008542633
To the nearest whole number
x = 5
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Note: You missed to add the dot plots chart. As I found the chart after a little research. Thus, I am attaching it and based on that dot plot chart I am solving the question which anyways would clear you concept.
Answer:
'There are about 2 more students in each class at Oak Middle School than at Poplar Middle School' is the correct statement.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the diagram, it is clear that
The data set containing Poplar Middle School:
20   20   20   21   21   21   21   21   22   22   22   22   22   22   22   23   23   23   23   24   
The mean of a data set is the sum of the terms divided by the total number of terms. Using math notation we have:

   
    
The data set containing Oak Middle School:
20   21   21   22   22   23   23   23   23   24   24   24   25   25   26   26   27   27   28   29   
The mean of a data set is the sum of the terms divided by the total number of terms. Using math notation we have:

    
So, the difference in mean will be:
                                             
Therefore, 'there are about 2 more students in each class at Oak Middle School than at Poplar Middle School' is the correct statement.
