The answer is 30 because you put 21/x= 70/100
you cross multiply 100 and 21 you get 2100 and you divide it by 70 you should get 30 cause you take out one 0 from both numbers and end up with 210 divided by 7 then you get 30

70 % of unknown number = 21
We multiply the percentage by a variable and make it = to the given value.
70% of n = 21
Change percent to decimal
70% = \frac{70}{100} = 0.7
0.7n = 21
divide either sides by 0.7 to isolate n

\frac{0.7n}{0.7} = \frac{21}{0.7}
0.7 and 0.7 cancels out
n = 30

0.7 × 30 = 21
70 % of 30 is 21
An example has been attached below

% of a number = multiply % by number
value is the % of a number = divide % by value

Triangle EFG is dilated by a scale factor of 3 centered at (0, 1) to create triangle E'F'G'. Which statement is true about the d
lesya [120]

Answer:

segment EH and segment E prime H prime both pass through the center of dilation.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Center of dilation is point (0.1), same as H. Both, E(0,5) and H(0,1) are placed over y-axis, then E' and H' are also located at y-axis.

After dilation, H' is placed at (0,1) because it coincides with the center of dilation

Distance between E and center of dilation is 4 units, then E' should be at 4*3=12 units from the center of dilation and over y-axis. Therefore, E' is placed at (0, 13)

So, segment E'H' goes from (0,1) to (0,13), and pass through the center of dilation, like segment EH.

Kwame says that the ordered pair(5,0) is on the y-axis. So you agree? Justify your answer.
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

No, the answer would be on the x-axis. This is because x=5 and y=0, which would mean that the ordered pair (5,0) would be on the x-axis.

Hope this helps!
