You have to figure out what 48 percent of 70 is.
Use the formula percent/of = x/100.
So, 48/70 and x/100 you cross multiply the numbers; 48*100 and 70*x and end up with 70x=4800.
Divide both sides by 70, which gives you 68.57.
Round the number up to 69 percent.
Option 2.)
(Please correct me if I'm wrong)
101/400 or .3025 is your answer
Answer:
Emily: 13, Peter: 9, Joshua: 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Emily = x
Peter = Emily - 4 = x - 4
Joshua = 2(Peter) = 2(x - 4)
Total = 40 = Emily + Peter + Joshua = (x) + (x - 4) + 2(x - 4)
40 = 2x - 4 + 2x -8
40 = 4x - 4 - 8
40 = 4x - 12
52 = 4x
x = 13
Emily = 13
Peter = 13 - 4 = 9
Joshua = 2(13 - 4) = 2(9) = 18
13 + 9 +18 = 40
