Answer:

780 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of students be "x"

We know 35% of these students take the bus, which is 273 students

So, the problem basically becomes:

35% of x is 273

We need to convert this word equation to algebraic equation. Remember,

"of" means "multiplication"

and

"is" means "equals to"

So, we can write:

35% * x = 273

To solve this for x, first we need to convert percentage to decimal by dividing by 100, so we have:

35% = 35/100 = 0.35

Now, we have:

0.35*x = 273\\0.35x=273

We solve for x:

0.35x=273\\x=\frac{273}{0.35}\\x=780

The total number of students at Jones High School = 780

Complete this conversion. given: 10 mm = 1 cm given: 100 cm = 1 m find: 7.5 m = ___ mm
krek1111 [17]
We have that
10 mm is equal to -------> 1 cm----> multiply by 100
10*100 mm is equal to -------> 1*100 cm
1000 mm is equal to -------> 100 cm
and
we know that
100 cm is equal to-------> 1 m
therefore
1000 mm is equal to -------> 100 cm
100 cm is equal to-------> 1 m

1000 mm is equal to--------> 1 m
  X mm-----------------> 7.5 m
x-7.5*1000-----> x=7500 mm

the answer is
7500 mm

romanna [79]

Answer:

\large \boxed{27 \, \%} }

Step-by-step explanation:

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Percent error}&= &\dfrac{\lvert \text{Measured - Actual}\lvert}{ \text{Actual}} \times100 \,\%\\\\& = & \dfrac{\lvert 10 - 13.75\lvert}{13.75} \times 100 \, \% \\\\& = & \dfrac{\lvert -3.75\lvert}{13.75} \times 100 \, \%\\ \\& = & \dfrac{3.75}{13.75} \times 100 \,\%\\\\& = & 0.27 \times 100 \, \%\\& = & \mathbf{27 \, \%}\\\end{array}\\\text{The percent error is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{27 \, \%} }$}
