A percentage figure shows that the quantity of parts per one hundred a segment sum compares to. For instance, "85 percent" is another method for saying "85 sections for each 100." To calculate a percentage, the entire sum must be known, in addition to the percentage or portion amount.

It is easy to determine the percentage of a whole number and this is the steps to do so:
First multiply the number by the percent for example 87 * 68 = 5916, Second divide the answer by 100, we will just move the decimal two places to the left (5916/100) = 59.16, and then round to the desired precision 59.16 rounded to the nearest whole number which is 59.

Answer:

D. $y = 5\cdot \Sigma_{i=0}^{4} \left(\frac{1}{3} \right)^{i}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be $y = \Sigma_{i = 0}^{4} \left[5\cdot \left(\frac{1}{3} \right)^{i}\right]$ . To find the equivalent expression we must use the following property:

$y = c\cdot \Sigma_{i = 0}^{n} p(x) = \Sigma_{i=0}^{n} [c\cdot p(x)]$ (1)

Based on this fact, we find the following equivalence:

$y = 5\cdot \Sigma_{i=0}^{4} \left(\frac{1}{3} \right)^{i}$

Hence, the correct answer is D.

To amend U.S. Constitution, 3/4 of the 50 states must approve the amendment. If 35 states approve an amendment, will the Constit

Elodia [21]

To answer the question we need to know if 35 out of 50 states is equal or greater than 3/4 if that is the case, the Constitution will be ammended, and that is represented like this:
35/50 >= 3/4
that inequality is saying that 35 states out of 50 is equal or greater than 3/4, lets simplify and modify the fractions to compare easily:
35/50 >= 3/4
7/10 >= 3/4
now we need to find the least common multiplier of 10 and 4 to take the fractions to a common denominator and compare easy. Lets multiply numerator and denominator for a correct number to get the fractions to denominator common 20, the lcm:
7/10 >= 3/4
(2/2)(7/10) >= (5/5)(3/4)
2*7/2*10 >= 5*3/5*4
14/20 >= 15/20
we can see that the inequality does not hold, so,
35/50 >= 3/4
does not hold either, therefore the Constitution cannot be ammended
