Answer: 2.6
Step-by-step explanation:
1. We assume, that the number 9.375 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 9.375 is 100%, so we can write it down as 9.375=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 9.375=100%
2) x=7.25%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
9.375/x=100%/7.25%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for what is 7.25% of 9.375
9.375/x=100/7.25
(9.375/x)*x=(100/7.25)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
9.375=13.793103448276*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.793103448276) to get x
9.375/13.793103448276=x
0.6796875=x
x=0.6796875
now we have:
7.25% of 9.375=0.6796875
44 inches.
All you have to do is find out what 10% of 40 is then add it back to 40. In the case of finding 10% of something you just “chop” of the back number (or move the decimal place forward) so 10% of 40 is 4. The. 40+4=44.
You can also multiply fractions to find the percent of a number but that is not necessary in this case.
Answer:
20%
Step-by-step explanation:
An equation is 14=x/100*70 or 14=(x%)*70, either one works
solve for x:
- 14=x/100*70
- 14/70=x/100 (Divide each side by 70)
- 1/5=x/100 (Simplify 14/70)
- 100/5=x (Multiply each side by 100 to isolate x)
- x=20 (Simplify 100/5)
- 20% (Rewrite as a percent)
hope this helps!!
115 would be your answer because 180-65=115
