It is important to do the calculations very carefully. Otherwise there is nothing complicated about this problem.
Let us assume the unknown number = x
Then
40x/100 = 55
40x = 55 * 100
40x = 5500
x = 5500/40
  = 550/4
  = 137.5
So 55 is 40% of 137.50. I hope the procedure is clear to you and in future you can solve such problems on your own without requiring any help from outside.This is the simplest way of solving such problems.

55 is 40% of 137.5

Convert your percentage into a decimal:
40%/100 = 0.4

Divide 55 by the decimal: 
55 ÷ 0.4 = 137.5

Is it possible to make a triangle with 4 meters, 5 meters, and 7 meters
Neporo4naja [7]
The triangle Inequality Theorem states that if the longest side is shorter than the sum of the other 2 sides, it will form a triangle.
7< 4 + 5 so it forms a triangle.

It is a scalene triangle (all 3 sides are not equal).

It makes an obtuse triangle.  (To see why, click here:  http://www.1728.org/triantest.htm )

The perimeter of a stop sign has a perimeter of 16x2 - 80x. What is the length of one side?
uranmaximum [27]
Since a stop sign is an octagon it has eight sides.  So the perimeter will be:

p=8x,  p=perimeter and x=side length.  We are told that the perimeter is equal to:

16x^2-80x so we can say:

16x^2-80x=8x subtract 8x from both sides

16x^2-88x=0  factor out 8x

8x(2x-11), since we know x>0

x=11/2

x=5.5 units

Un cuerpo de 180 kg se debe lanzar hacia una distancia de 25 m. ¿Qué valor tiene el trabajo que se realiza al lanzarlo?
dsp73

Answer:

45, 000 J o 45 KJ

Step-by-step explanation:

Recordemos que trabajo realizado = fuerza * distancia

En este caso, fuerza = peso del objeto

Por lo tanto, peso del objeto = 180 Kg * 10ms ^ 2 = 1800 N

Por eso;

Trabajo realizado = 1800 N * 25 m = 45, 000 J o 45 KJ
