2 answers:

So 36% of x is 18
percent is parts out of 100
36%=36/100=0.36
'of' can be translated as muitiply
0.36 times x=18
divide both sdies by .36
x=50
the number is 50

Let 'x' represent the percent of 18.
Let '100' represent the whole 36.

Set up a proportion:
x/18 = 100/36
You cross multiply and get:
36x = 1800
Now divide both sides by 36:
36x/36 = 1800/36
you get:
50

if rhombus ABCD were reflected across the x axis to create rhombus A'B'C'D', what would the measure of angle D' be?

Mrac [35]

Answer:

D.64

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear line equals up to 180

A+D=180

Substitute 116 for A

116+D=180

Subtract 116 from both sides

D=64

A reflection across the x-axis won't change the measure of an angle

The answer is 64.
