Let's assign a variable that is the number when multiplied by 10% it is equal to 0.1.
Well let that be x.
Now we want to convert the 10% into a decimal. To convert a percent into a decimal, simply move the % sign two places to the left and make it into a decimal point.
When we say "of" in mathematics what we really mean is to multiply.
0.10 * x = 0.1
That is the equation we need to find the value of x for.
Divide both sides by 0.10
0.10 * x = 0.1
The 0.10 on the left side cancels out.
x = 1
So, the answer to this question is if we multiply 10% by 1 we will get 0.1.
Answer:
18 square centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of a rectangle follow the formula, A=lw. Where A is the area, l is the length, and w is the width. So to find the area plug the dimensions into the formula. This would be A=6 x 3, which equals 18. Therefore the answer is 18 centimeters squared.
Answer:
$123,200
Step-by-step explanation:
0.06 x 2 = 0.12
140,000 x 0.12 = 16,800
140,000 - 16,800 = 123,200
2*(x-5) = -33, so x-5 = -16.5, so x = -11.5
This is assuming that "the difference between a and b" is a-b, which seems to be the accepted interpretation.
