Mathematics

dimaraw [331]3 years ago
4 0
Percent means parts out of 100
15%=15/100=0.15
'of' means multiply

therefor
15% of x equals 12 means
0.15 times x=12
divide both sides by 0.15
x=80



the number is 80

if the speed of sound is 344 meters per second, what is the approximate speed of sound, in meters per hour?
choli [55]
Since we already know that the speed of sound is 344m per second, there are 60 seconds in one minute, and there are 60 minutes in one hour, we just multiply 344 by 60, giving us 20,640. Then we multiply 20,640 by 60 to get an answer of 1,238,400 meters per hour.

Eva estimate the 475 songs will fit on her MP3 player. The actual amount of songs that fit is 380. Find percent error
Shalnov [3]

Answer: 20%

Step-by-step explanation: Let’s use the variable ‘x’ as the percent. You need to make an equation and fill in the blanks. ___ is ____% of ____. So 380 is x% of 475. Now solve the problem. 380/475 = x/100, cross multiply. Now you have 475x = 380 * 100 or 475x = 38000. Now divide each side by 475. Now you have, x = 80%. Now you subtract. 100% - 80%. AND YOU GET 20%
