An example should make this clear.
If $50 is 40% what is the value of the whole amount?
Answer:- Whole amount = 100^%
By proportion this = (100/ 40) * 50
= 2.5 * 50
= $125 (answer)
Answer:
2000
Step-by-step explanation:
1600 is 100% - 20% = 80% of the original price.
So it is 4/5 of the original price.
So, the marked price is 1600 * 5/4 = 2000
Answer:
Since all three of the interior angles are the same degree, the three sides must be the same length. So, 3x - 5, 4x - 30, and 2x + 20 must be equal.
To solve for x, you can just set one of the sides equal to another one of the sides. I will do 3x - 5 and 4x - 30.
3x - 5=4x - 30
Add 5 to both sides.
3x = 4x - 25
Subtract 4x from both sides.
-x = -25
Divide both sides by -1.
x=25
