5 · (6 - 1) + 3
= 5·5 + 3
= 25 + 3
= 28
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Direct variation equation:</u>
- y = kx, where k is constant of variation
<u>Given:</u>
<u>The equation is:</u>
<u>Find the value of x when y = 168:</u>
- 168 = 12x
- x = 168/12
- x = 14
To find a percent you multiply the decimal number by 100. OR to be easier just move the decimal number 2 places to the right.
4.3%
0.83 * 100 = 83, so 0.83 = 83/100.
But in case you meant the slightly more interesting repeating decimal, 0.8333...:
Let <em>x</em> denote this number. Then
10<em>x</em> = 8.333...
100<em>x</em> = 83.333...
==> 100<em>x</em> - 10<em>x</em> = 83.333... - 8.333...
==> 90<em>x</em> = 83 - 8 = 75
==> <em>x</em> = 75/90 = 5/6
