The answer is (rounded to the nearest tenth) about 5.7 and since neither 18 or 2 have a perfect square, so this is irrational.
0.31 = 31%
% is out of 100 so 31% is 31 out of 100 which is 31/100 :)
Answer:
$79.63
Step-by-step explanation:
You can figure this by estimating. 16% is a little less than 20%, which is 1/5. $497.69 is almost $500. So, 1/5 of that is almost $100, and a little less than that is about $80. The closest answer choice is $79.63.

If you want to figure it exactly, you can do the multiplication ...
16% of $497.69 = 0.16 × $497.69 = $79.6304 ≈ $79.63
I would say the width is 7 without having a picture.
If you translate this problem literally, it is saying, “72 is what percent of 288?”. And the equational translation of that is 72 = (x/100) • 288
[ “is” means equal to (=) // “what” means x or another variable // “percent” means divided by 100” // “of” means multiplication. ]
Then you solve that equation.
(you can check it by googling what is 25% of 288. )
