You need to calculate 35% of 400.
The way I do this on paper is I split it up into chunks and then add the chunks together.
First I would calculate 10%. To do this, divide 400 by 10, because to get from 100% to 10% you must divide by 10.
So 10% = 40
You need 30%, so you just multiply by 3, because to get from 10% to 30%, you multiply by 3.
So 30% = 120
5% is half of 10% so half of 40 is 20.
So 5% = 20
30% + 5% = 35%
120 + 20 = 140

2-1/4
2/1=8/4 Multiply top and bottom by 4
8/4-1/4
7/4
1 3/4
X = 37
150= 4x + 2
148 = 4x
X = 37
Answer:
a = jd
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to solve for a given that a/d = j
To do so we want to isolate a (get a by itself )
We can do this by using inverse operations.
We would want to get rid of the d
A is being divided by d.
The inverse of division is multiplication so to get rid of the d we multiply a/d by d but whatever we do to one side we must do to the other so we multiply both sides by d
a/d * d = a
j * d = jd
we are then left with a = jd
And we are done!
