If x > 0 and y > 0, where is the<br> point (x, y) located?

Scrat [10]

Given, x > 0, y > 0.
So, the values of x and y are less than 0, that means, they are negative integers.
If we divide a Cartesian plane with the x-axis and y-axis, we get four quadrants.
1st Quadrant : (+,+)
2nd Quadrant : (-,+)
3rd Quadrant : (-,-)
4th Quadrant : (+,-)
Since the values of x and y are both negative, so (x, y) is located in the <em><u>3rd Quadrant</u></em>.

Hope you could get an idea from here.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bold{METHOD\ 1}\\\\\begin{array}{ccc}24&-&0.75\%\\\\x&-&100\%\end{array}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\\\0.75x=(24)(100)\\0.75x=2400\qquad\text{divide both sides by 0.75}\\x=3200$

$\bold{METHOD\ 2}\\\\x-\text{the number}\\\\p\%=\dfrac{p}{100}\to0.75\%=\dfrac{0.75}{100}=\dfrac{0.75\cdot100}{(100)(100)}=\dfrac{75}{10000}=\dfrac{75:25}{10000:25}=\dfrac{3}{400}\\\\0.75\%\ of\ x\ is\ equal\ to\ 24\\\\\dfrac{3}{400}x=24\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 400}\\\\3x=9600\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\x=3200$
