What number is 15% of 80? use percent proportions

1 answer:

8 0

!5% is equivalent to 15 parts over the whole 100 part. It is written in proportions as 15/100.

Similarly, you need to find how many parts in 80 are equivalent to 15%or 15/100. So, just equate both equation with x as an unknown.

x/80 = 15/100
x = (15/100)*80
x = 12

Thus, the 15% of 80 is 12.

Cathy rolls a number cube that is labeled from 1 to 6.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: 2/3

Cathy rolls a number cube that is labeled from 1 to 6.

Total outcomes = {1,2,3,4,5,6}

she rolls an even number or a multiple of 3

Outcomes of an even number = {2,4,6}

Outcomes of multiple of 3 = {3,6}

so favorable outcomes of even number or a multiple of 3 = {2,3,4,6}

Probability ( any event) =number of favorable outcomes divide by total number of outcomes

probability(even number or a multiple of 3) = $\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}$
