Hi,

81 is 37.5% of 216.

"1. We assume, that the number 37.5 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.  

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.  

3. If 100% equals 37.5, so we can write it down as 100%=37.5.  

4. We know, that x% equals 81 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=81.  

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 100%=37.5

2) x%=81

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

100%/x%=37.5/81

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 81 is what percent of 37.5

100%/x%=37.5/81

(100/x)*x=(37.5/81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=0.46296296296296*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.46296296296296) to get x

100/0.46296296296296=x  

216=x  

x=216                          "

Have a great day!

Use the slope formula to find the slope of the line through the points (2,10) and (10,−8).
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The slope formula is the changes of two y-values over/to the changes of two x-values.

\large \boxed{m =  \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} }

Substitute two given points in the formula to find the slope. The m-term represents the slope from y = mx+b.

\large{m =  \frac{10 - ( - 8)}{2 - 10} } \\  \large{m =  \frac{10 + 8}{ - 8} } \\  \large{ m =  \frac{18} { - 8} \longrightarrow  \frac{9}{ - 4} } \\  \large \boxed{m =  -  \frac{9}{4} }

Answer

  • The slope is -9/4.

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any doubts!
