25% of what number is 9
1 answer:
Keep in mind the the word "percent" translates to "for each 100." 25% can be read as "25 for each 100," which has the fractional representation 
and the decimal representation 0.25. All of these representations are just different ways of writing the same value.
Note too that the fraction can be reduced to 
, so what the question is really asking is: 1/4 of what number is 9?
Well, if we know that 1/4 of the number is 9, we can easily find how large the whole number is by finding all 4/4 of it (the <em>whole</em> number)<em /><em />, or 4 x 9, which multiplies out to 36.

Answer:
x = √(w(w+z))
Step-by-step explanation:
The idea with a right-triangle figure of this sort is that all of the triangles are similar. Here, x is the short side of ∆ABC, and the hypotenuse of ∆BDC. This suggests you want to write a similarity statement involving the short side and hypotenuse.
BC/AC = DC/BC . . . . . short side/hypotenuse
BC² = AC·DC . . . . . . cross multiply
x² = (w+z)w . . . . . . substitute letter values
Taking the square root and rearranging to the form of the applicable answer choice, this is ...
