20 is what percent of 16?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Airida [17]2 years ago
3 0

Reading through the problem we have "20 is", that's

"20 equals", "what percent", "x/100", "of 16", times 16.

So we have the equation 20 = x/100 · 16.

So cross-canceling the 16 and 100 to 4 and 25, we have 20 = 4x/25.

Multiply both sides by 25 to get rid of the

fraction and we have 500 = 4x so 125 = x.

Remember the =question is asking for "what percent"

so we should write our answer as 125%.

Finally, check to see if the answer makes sense.

Does "20 is 125% of 16" make sense?

Use the equation Y= 11 - 5X to find y when x=7.
kap26 [50]
Plug in x = 7. Then use the order of operations (PEMDAS) to simplify
y = 11 - 5*x
y = 11 - 5*7 .... x has been replaced with 7 (since x = 7 is given)
y = 11 - 35
y = -24

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

A.) 15.60=11.40+10x

Step-by-step explanation:

okay we know kathy spent 15.60 in total at the post office

so we know 15.60 will be after the equal sign.

she paid 11.40 only on the package

and rest of money was on stamps.

15.60-11.40= 4.20

so she used 4 dollars and 20 cents for stamps if she bought 10 we need to divied 4.20/10=0.42

0.42 cents for each stamps so we need a equation that will give us this answer.

Me i go thru each one and solve for x

lucky for me i just need to solve one

because equation A solves it correctly.

15.60=11.40+10x

subtract 11.40 on both sides

15.60-11.40

4.20=10x

now we divide 10 on each side

4.20/10=0.42

x=0.42
