Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
P(black bean soup) = cans of black bean / total = 6/12 =1/2
out of the next 20
20 *P(black bean)
20 * 1/2 = 10
To find what the number is, we need to set up proportional fractions.
Currently, we have 8% of a number is 20.
To set up our fractions, put 100% under 8% as a fraction first.
It should look like this: 8/100 (hint: per-cent means per-hundred).
Now, we have 20 out of a number, x. This is because we are claiming that 20 is 8% of a number (if we just reword the question without changing the concept).
It should look like this: 20/x.
Our proportional fractions are:
20/x = 8/100.
To solve for this, we need to cross-multiply the denominator of 8/100 (bottom number, 100) with the numerator of 20/x (top number, 20).
This product equation should look like this:
20 x 100 (when simplified, we get 2000).
Now, we need to cross multiply the numerator of 8/100 (top number, 8) with the denominator of 20/x (bottom number, x).
This product equation should look like this:
8x.
Now that we've cross-multiplied, set our two products as an equation.
8x = 2000.
To solve for x, divide both sides by 8 (remember, what you do to one side of an equation, you must do it to the other).
8x / 8 = x
2000 / 8 = 250.
x = 250
Your final answer is:
8% of 250 is 20.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
H. 552
Step-by-step explanation:
Circle graph information:
- Milk and eggs = x%
- Fruits and vegetables = 38%
- Cereals = 10%
- Meat and fish = 10%
- Sugar = 8%
- Fats and oils = 4%
Total consumption = 1840 pounds per person
First, calculate the percentage of milk and eggs (the value of x).
Total percentages = 100%
⇒ x + 38 + 10 + 10 + 8 + 4 = 100
⇒ x + 70 = 100
⇒ x = 30
Therefore, 30% of food consumption is milk and eggs.
To calculate the number of pounds of milk and eggs the average American consumes each year, simply find 30% of the total consumption:
= 30% of 1840
= 30% × 1840
= 552
Therefore, the average American consumes 552 pounds of milk and eggs each year.

y = 50x + 25
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b
Answer:
f(x) = 12x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x)= 20 + 12(x - 2)
Distribute
f(x) =20 +12x - 24
Combine like terms
f(x) = 12x+20-24
f(x) = 12x - 4
