How to calulate what percentage a number is of a larger number

1 answer:

8 0

Answer: you just multiply the big by the percentage. But change the percentage to a decimal. There only two operating when dealing with percentage. Add or subtract. Once you multiply the percentage with big number add or subtract the answers with the big number.

Four less than 2 times the quantity of a number minus 3 is 12

svetlana [45]

Answer:

11.

Step-by-step explanation:

(2(n-3))-4=12

(2n-6)-4=12 distribute

2n-6-4=12

2n-10=12

2n=12+10 isolate n

2n=22

2n÷2=22÷2

n=11

The floor of a room is being covered with tile. An area one half

tangare [24]

Answer:

Only the floor area $\frac{3}{8}$ has been covered

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the floor of the room is rectangular, then its area is equal to the product of its length times its width.

$A = lw$

Let's now call A 'the area that was covered with tiles.

We know that half the length was covered, then:

$l' = \frac{1}{2}l$

$w' = \frac{3}{4}w$

So:

$A' = \frac{1}{2}l(\frac{3}{4}w)$

$A' = \frac{3}{8}lw$

Finally:

$A' = \frac{3}{8}A$

On a number line, point F is at 4, and point G is at -2. Point H lies between point F and point G. If the ratio of FH to HG is 3

Mademuasel [1]

Here, we are required to determine the point where point H lie on the number line.

The point H is at point 2.5 on the number line.

The distance between point F and G on the number line is:

4 - (-2) = 6 numbers on the number line.

And since the ratio of FH to HG is 3:9

Then, let point H be at no. X on the number line.

Therefore; FH/HG = (4 - x)/(x - (-2))

i.e 3/9 = (4 - x)/ (x +2).

By cross multiplication, 3x + 6 = 36 - 9x.

Therefore, 12x = 30

and, x = 2.5

Therefore, the point H is at point 2.5 on the number line.

Suppose you'd like to save enough money to pay cash for your next car. The goal is to save an extra $28,000 over the next 6 year

Anna35 [415]

Given:

• Amount to save, A = $28,000

• Time, t = 6 years

• Interest rate, r = 5.3% ==> 0.053

• Number of times compounded = quarterly = 4 times

Let's find the amount that must be deposited into the account quarterly.

Apply the formula:

$FV=P(\frac{(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}-1}{\frac{r}{n}})$

Where:

FV is the future value = $28,000

r = 0.053

n = 4

t = 6 years

Thus, we have:

$28000=P(\frac{(1+\frac{0.053}{4})^{4\times6}-1)}{\frac{0.053}{4}}$

Let's solve for P.

We have:

$\begin{gathered} 28000=P(\frac{(1+0.01325)^{24}-1}{0.01325}) \\ \\ 28000=P(\frac{(1.01325)^{24}-1)^{}}{0.01325}) \\ \\ 28000=P(\frac{1.371509114-1}{0.01325}) \\ \\ 28000=P(\frac{0.371509114}{0.01325}) \end{gathered}$

Solving further:

$28000=P(28.0384237)$

Divide both sides by 28.0384237:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{28000}{28.0384237}=\frac{P(28.0384237)}{28.0384237} \\ \\ 998.6=P \\ \\ P=998.6 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the amount that must be deposited quarterly into the account is $998.60

ANSWER:

$998.60
