Question

Write an equation and solve. Round to the nearest hundredth where necessary. 19 is what percent of 40?

Answer 1

The first one is B. idk the second

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Let x% of 40 = 19

Therefore, $\frac{x}{100} \times 40 = 19$

                 $\frac{4x}{10} = 19$

                     x = $\frac{190}{4}$

                     x = 47.5

Thus, 47.5% of 40 = 19.

(b) It is given that $\frac{5}{x} = \frac{4}{8}$

                             $x = \frac{5 \times 8}{4}$

                                    x = 10

Thus, we can conclude that the value of x = 10.
