72 is 40% of what number?

Mathematics

Tanya [424]4 years ago

All you have to do to find what number a certain number is a certain percentage of is to divide the known number by the percentage that it is reduced by.
To do this, we must first convert the percentage into a decimal. To do this, we can either divide the percentage by 100, or (my personal shortcut) just shift the decimal point over two places to the left.

40% = 0.4

Now, we divide the known by the percentage/decimal.

72 / 0.4 = 180

72 is 40% of 180.
Hope that helped! =)

Note: Enter your answer and show all the steps that you use to solve this problem in the space provided.
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

-\frac{21}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this system just by summing each side of the equation:

So, both left sides will be sum, and both right sides too.

The resulting expression will be:

(3-y)+(3-y) = 6+21

Ordering and solving both sides:

6-2y=27\\-2y=27-6\\y=\frac{21}{-2}

Hence, the value to the system is -\frac{21}{2}

It's important to combine both equation, because the exercise is asking for the solution of the system.

Suppose that we have constructed a 95% confidence interval for the true mean salary of graduating business majors: (50k, 70k). B
slava [35]

Answer:

d. 60k

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample mean is the midpoint between the lower and the upper limit of the confidence interval, that is, the sum of the lower and the upper limit divided by 2.

In this problem, we have that:

Lower limit: 50k

Upper limit: 70k

(50k + 70k)/2 = 60k

So the correct answer is:

d. 60k

Can you subtract variables with different exponents
Serjik [45]
If you're asking if you can subtract this, for example:

x³ - x²

No.  They must have the same exponent to be compatible.  For example:

4x² - x²  =  3x²
