You first have to know the total number of responses: 82+76+42= 200
then you set up a proportion: %/100 = part/whole (and whichever thing you’re trying to solve for will be x)
so for this problem: x/100 = 42/200 (x is what you’re solving for: you’re trying to find the percent of people that prefer strawberry ice cream out of the 200 people surveyed)
then: cross multiply
i like to start with the x first so:
200 • x = 200x
and
42 • 100 = 4200
then finally put these together to make an algebraic equation: 200x = 4200
solve from there:
4200 divided by 200 (because you want x by itself) is 21 so you’re left with:
x = 21
now remember how we used x to represent the percent out of 100 on our proportion? this means that 21% of people (out of the 200) prefer strawberry ice cream
hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

82 + 76 + 42 = 200

42 out of 200 hmmm

200 / 2 = 100

42 / 2 = 21

21 out of 100 = 42 out of 200

21%

the height of a triangle is 4 meters less than the base. if the area of the triangle is 6 m^2 what is the height of the triangle

inna [77]

Answer:

$2m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Alrighty let's do this.

We know that formula for the Area of a triangle is:

$A = \frac{1}{2}bh$

They give us the area as $6m^2$ , so let's include it in the equation.

$6 = \frac{1}{2}bh$

Now we reach a stage where we have 2 unknown variables! That means we can't solve it in its current state. So the idea you should have in cases like these where you have 2 or more unknown variables is, "Can I represent this one variable in terms of another variable?" In this case you can do exactly that. You can represent height in terms of length of the base. We are told the height of the triangle is 4 meters less than the base. That is telling us that $h = b-4$

So replace $h$ in the equation with $b-4$ .

You will now get:

$6 = \frac{1}{2}b(b-4)$

Now we can work towards solving. Let's get simplifying.

$12 = b(b-4)\\12 = b^2 - 4b\\$

bring everything to one side so we can make a quadratic and factor:

$0 = b^2 - 4b - 12\\0 = (b-6)(b+2)\\\\b = 6\\b\neq -2$

We get that $b=6$ .

Since we need the height of the triangle we'll need to call back on what h is. We found earlier that $h = b - 4$ , so to find h, we just sub in our b value into that.

$h = (6) - 4 = 2$

We find that $h=2$
