Answer:
If you take 32 percent of a number and get 64, then what is that number? In other words, you know that 32 percent of a number is 64 and you want to know what that initial number is. Therefore, the answer to "64 is 32 percent of what number?" is 200, and you can also derive that 32 percent of 200 equals 64.
Step-by-step explanation:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
23, 49
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the smaller of the two numbers. Then the larger is s+26, and the sum is ...
s + (s+26) = 72
2s = 72 -26
s = (72 -26)/2 = 23
Then the larger number is
s +26 = 49
The two numbers are 23 and 49.
_____
The reason we wrote the solution this way is to show you that the smaller number is half the difference between the given sum (72) and difference (26). This is the generic solution to a "sum and difference" problem. The smaller number is always half the difference of the give sum and difference. (Similarly, the larger is always half the sum of the given sum and difference.)
That is, the two numbers are always half the sum ± half the difference:
72/2 ± 26/2 = {36+13, 36-13} = {49, 23}
Answer:
The answer is B. $3.85.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because, first if we get the percentage that the shoes were marked up by, we get that they were marked up to $35, because 40% of $25 is $10 and $25 + $10 = $35.
Then, we find the percentage of $35 that she earned. In order to do this, we see what 11% of $35 is. We get $3.85, because 10% of $35 is $3.50, and 1% of $35 is $0.35. $3.50 + $0.35 = $3.85.
This is why the answer is B. $3.85.
