To determine this, we need to set up fractional proportions.
First, put 12.5% (what we're looking for) over 100%, which is the total (256).
12.5/100 should be your first fraction.
Now, put x over 256, x being 12.5% of 256.
x/256 should be your second fraction.
Now put these two fractions as an equation.
x/256 = 12.5/100
This may be where things get tricky if you don't pay attention.
Cross multiply the top number (numerator) of x/256 with the bottom number (denominator) of 12.5/100.
You should end up with 100x.
Now, cross multiply the top number of 12.5/100 with the bottom number of x/256.
You should end up with 3200.
Now our equation is:
100x = 3200
Divide both sides by 100 to get x.
100x/100 = x
3200/100 = 32
x = 32 is now your simplified equation.
Your final answer is:
32 is 12.5% of 256.
Also, since 12.5% is 1/8 of 100%, we can test our answer.
Multiply 32 by 8 to get 8/8 (100%).
32 x 8 = 256.
Your answer is 32.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
x=3, y=8; (3,8)
Step-by-step explanation:
To use the substitution method, first solve for a variable.
2x+y=14
2x+y(-2x)=14(-2x)
y=14-2x
Now substitute y in the other equation with 14-2x
5x-2(14-2x)= - 1
Simplify by multiplying inside the parenthesis.
5x-28+4x= - 1
Combine the x values
9x-28= - 1
9x=27
x=3
Now substitute the x value in to solve for y
2(3)+y=14
6+y=14
y=8
