16 is 10% of what number

Mathematics

let's say is 16% of "x", meaning "x" is the 100%.

we know "x" is 100% and 16% of it is 10, so

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} x&100\\ 16&10 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{16}=\cfrac{100}{10}\implies \cfrac{x}{16}=10\implies x = 160

Answer:

<h2>160</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\bold{METHOD\ 1:}\\\\\begin{array}{cccc}16&-&10\%&\text{multiply both sides by 10}\\\\(16)(10)&-&(10\%)(10)\\\\160&-&100\%\end{array}

\bold{METHOD\ 2:}\\\\\begin{array}{ccc}10\%&-&16\\\\100\%&-&x\end{array}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\\\(10)(x)=(100)(16)\\\\10x=1600\qquad\text{divide both sides by 10}\\\\\dfrac{10x}{10}=\dfrac{1600}{10}\\\\x=160

\bold{METHOD\ 3:}\\\\x-\text{number}\\\\p\%=\dfrac{p}{100}\to10\%=\dfrac{10}{100}=\dfrac{1}{10}=0.1\\\\10\%\ of\ x\ is\ equal\ 16:\\\\0.1x=16\qquad\text{divide both sides by 0.1}\\\\\dfrac{0.1x}{0.1}=\dfrac{16}{0.1}\\\\x=\dfrac{16\cdot10}{0.1\cdot10}\\\\x=\dfrac{160}{1}\\\\x=160

A stick l feet long is broken into two parts, one of which is twice as long as the other. How long is the shorter piece?
mezya [45]
Well, you really need to think on this one. The shorter piece can be four inches long. See, when you multiply four by two, you get eight. And when you add four and eight together, you get twelve inches, which is one foot.

Determine what type of number the solutions are and how many exist for the equation 3x^2+7x+5=0
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Two complex (imaginary) solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number/type of solutions for a quadratic, we can evaluate its discriminant.

The discriminant formula for a quadratic in standard form is:

\Delta=b^2-4ac

We have:

3x^2+7x+5

Hence, a=3; b=7; and c=5.

Substitute the values into our formula and evaluate. Therefore:

\Delta=(7)^2-4(3)(5) \\ =49-60\\=-11

Hence, the result is a negative value.

If:

  • The discriminant is negative, there are two, complex (imaginary) roots.
  • The discriminant is 0, there is exactly one real root.
  • The discriminant is positive, there are two, real roots.

Since our discriminant is negative, this means that for our equation, there exists two complex (imaginary) solutions.
