I'll give a practice problem to help explain it a bit better.
Here, let's try to solve 45% of of 60.
First, we convert the percentage into a decimal. To turn any percentage into a decimal you move the point two spaces to the left.
That means 45% as a decimal is .45.
Next, we multiply our number, 60, by the decimal .45.
60×.45=27.
That means 45% of 60 is 27.
To sum it all up, you have to get the percentage, move the decimal point two spaces to the left, and multiply it by the number you were trying to find the percentage of.
Have a wonderful day! :)
The answer is <span>$103.
To determine </span><span> how much Eileen will spend on gasoline, first we need to calculate how many gallons she needs.
If she drives 850 miles and </span><span>her car gets 23 miles per gallon, we can use the proportion:
850 miles : x gallons = 23 miles : 1 gallon
Crossing the products:
x = 850 miles </span>× 1 gallon ÷ 23 miles
x = 36.96 gallons
Thus, Eileen needs 36.96 gallons of gas. If the cost per gallon of gas is$2.79, using the proportion:
36.96 gallons : x = 1 gallon : <span>$2.79
x = 36.96 gallons </span>× $2.79 <span>÷ 1 gallon
x = </span>$103.12
x ≈ $<span>103</span>
You can remove the % sign if you divide the number by 100:

This is because % is defined as 1/100, and the name (per-cent) actually meant this originally!
we can also simplify it: let's divide it by 4:
Answer:
A = 450 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the right triangle is isosceles then the 2 logs are congruent , both 30 cm and at right angles to each other.
The area (A ) of the triangle is calculated as
A =
bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )
Here b = h = 30 , then
A =
× 30 × 30 =
× 900 = 450 cm²
