What is 20% of 55? (show work)

1 answer:

4 0

I know that 20% is out of 100.If I changed this problem to be a fraction problem,I would change that percent to 20/100.55 would be the denominater of the other fraction.Right now we're trying to find the numerator for the denominator of 55 to make this a complete fraction.Secondly,I would try to find a common denominator to get my answer.I'm going to make the common denominator......5500.As my teacher always said what you do to the bottom you do to the top and it goes the other way around too.So, i will times 20*55 to get my numerator.This equals 1100.Now I would divide this fraction by 100 to get my finished answer.The answer is 11 is 20% of 50.

The confidence interval is

$10.5\pm1.35 = (9.15, 11.85)$ . This means that we can be 99% confident that the mean number of books people read lies between 9.15 and 11.85.

To find the confidence interval, we first find the z-score associated with it:

Convert 99% to a decimal: 0.99
Subtract from 1: 1-0.99=0.01
Divide by 2: 0.01/2 = 0.005
Subtract from 1: 1-0.005 = 0.995

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that this is associated with a z-score between 2.57 and 2.58. Since both are equally far from this value we will use 2.575.

We calculate the margin of error using

$ME=z*\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}
\\
\\=2.575*\frac{16.6}{\sqrt{1003}}=1.35$

This means that the confidence interval is
$10.5\pm1.35$

The lower limit is given by 10.5-1.35 = 9.15.
The upper limit is given by 10.5+1.35 = 11.85

Two boys decided to buy a computer. The second boy had 5/6 of the money the first had. The first boy had 7/8 of the price of the

UNO [17]

Answer:

The price of the computer is $1,152

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the computer be $x

The first boy boy had 7/8 of this amount, the amount he has is thus 7/8 × $x = 7x/8

The second boy had 5/6 of what the first boy had. The amount of money he has is thus 5/6 × 7x/8 = 35x/48

Now, the addition of what they have is $696 more than what they need to pay. This amount is x+ 696

Mathematically, this can be represented as;

7x/8 + 35x/48 = x + 696

(42x + 35x)/48 = (x + 696)

77x/48 = (x + 696)

77x = 48(x + 696)

77x = 48x + 33408

77x - 48x = 33408

29x = 33, 408

x = 33,408/29

x = $1,152

How the heck do you do this?!

Use PEMDAS to figure out the order of operations:

Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication/Division
Addition/Subtraction

Solve (-4 + -6) first, as this is in parentheses:

$-4 + -6 = -10$

$10 - 5.3 * -10$

Solve 5.3 * -10 next, as this is multiplication:

$5.3 * -10 = -53$

$10 - -53$

Now we can solve the equation:

$10 - -53 = 63$

The answer is 63.
