Lets begin with an example.
You have 100 apples. 40 % of your apples are 40. Sounds complicated?
Here is the calculation in words, number of apples times 40 percentage.
By equation: 100 * 40/100= 40. Simple huh?
% symbol represents 100.
% 15 equals 15/100; 20% is equal to 20/100 or 1/5 in a simplified way.
Have a look to question. 40 iris at last year, 15 % MORE iris this year.
What is the 15 % of 40 iris? That's the question at the end.
Recall apple example at the beginning.
40 iris * 15/100 = 6.
So, there are 6 MORE iris blooms this year. This year Savanna has totally 46 iris.
It's technically an asset. But it can actually be both. You're liable and responsible for your car paid off or not.
Answer:
smaller x =-1/2
larger x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
(x-7)(-4x - 2) = 0
Using the zero product property
(x-7)=0 (-4x - 2) = 0
x-7+7 = 0+7 -4x-2-2 =0+2
x=7 -4x =2
-4x/-4 = 2/-4
x = -1/2
