1 point
50; 9% ≈ 10% and 578 should be rounded down to 500; 10% of 500 = 50
60; 9% ≈ 10% and 578 ≈ 600; 10% of 600 = 60
70; 9% ≈ 10% and 578 ≈ 700; 10% of 700 = 70
100; 9% ≈ 10% and 578 should be rounded up to 1,000; 10% of 1,000 = 100

Answer 1

Answer:

9 percent of 578 is 52.02.

Step-by-step explanation:

578/x=100/9

(578/x)*x=(100/9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

578=11.111111111111*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.111111111111) to get x

578/11.111111111111=x  

52.02=x  

x=52.02
