SAT

sveticcg [70]3 years ago

Faults are places in the Earth's crust where different tectonic plates meet and grind against each other.  The tectonic plates continuously move extremely slowly, but at faults, there is great stress caused by this movement.  This is due to the friction between the two tectonic plates, which are usually moving in opposite directions. When this stress is released and the tectonic plates "allow" each other to move a little past each other, the resulting movement is what we like to call and earthquake.

1) What percent of 440 is 369?
zimovet [89]

Answer:

119.24

Explanation:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 369 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with x​.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100%=36​.

Step 4: In the same vein, x% = 440​.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:100%=369(1) 440(2) = x%

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have 100%/x% = 369/440

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields x%/100% = 440/369

Therefore, 440​ is 119.24% of 369.
