To find what the number is, we need to set up proportional fractions.
Currently, we have 8% of a number is 20.
To set up our fractions, put 100% under 8% as a fraction first.
It should look like this: 8/100 (hint: per-cent means per-hundred).
Now, we have 20 out of a number, x. This is because we are claiming that 20 is 8% of a number (if we just reword the question without changing the concept).
It should look like this: 20/x.
Our proportional fractions are:
20/x = 8/100.
To solve for this, we need to cross-multiply the denominator of 8/100 (bottom number, 100) with the numerator of 20/x (top number, 20).
This product equation should look like this:
20 x 100 (when simplified, we get 2000).
Now, we need to cross multiply the numerator of 8/100 (top number, 8) with the denominator of 20/x (bottom number, x).
This product equation should look like this:
8x.
Now that we've cross-multiplied, set our two products as an equation.
8x = 2000.
To solve for x, divide both sides by 8 (remember, what you do to one side of an equation, you must do it to the other).
8x / 8 = x
2000 / 8 = 250.
x = 250
Your final answer is:
8% of 250 is 20.
I hope this helps!
B and D are the correct choices
From the 64 values in the table on the left, count how many fall within the given ranges under the "classes" column in the table on the right. The "frequency" is the number of values in the data that belong to a given "class".
For example, "< -16.0" means "values below -16.0". Only one number satisfies this: -16.2 (first row, third column). So the frequency for this class is just 1.
Then for the range "-15.9 - 13.0", which probably means "numbers between 15.9 and -13.0, inclusive", the frequency is 0 because every number in the table is larger than the ones in this range.
And so on.
