To find what the number is, we need to set up proportional fractions.
Currently, we have 8% of a number is 20.
To set up our fractions, put 100% under 8% as a fraction first.
It should look like this: 8/100 (hint: per-cent means per-hundred).
Now, we have 20 out of a number, x. This is because we are claiming that 20 is 8% of a number (if we just reword the question without changing the concept).
It should look like this: 20/x.
Our proportional fractions are:
20/x = 8/100.
To solve for this, we need to cross-multiply the denominator of 8/100 (bottom number, 100) with the numerator of 20/x (top number, 20).
This product equation should look like this:
20 x 100 (when simplified, we get 2000).
Now, we need to cross multiply the numerator of 8/100 (top number, 8) with the denominator of 20/x (bottom number, x).
This product equation should look like this:
8x.
Now that we've cross-multiplied, set our two products as an equation.
8x = 2000.
To solve for x, divide both sides by 8 (remember, what you do to one side of an equation, you must do it to the other).
8x / 8 = x
2000 / 8 = 250.
x = 250
Your final answer is:
8% of 250 is 20.
I hope this helps!
I think that its d seems like it might hope this is right
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the rule y = 5x + 7.
a. How many tiles are in Figure 0?
In figure 0, we let x=0
y = 5*0+7 = 0+7 = 7
b. Which figure has 37 tiles?
This means y = 37
37 = 5x+7
Subtract 7 from each side
37-7 = 5x+7-7
30 = 5x
Divide by 5
30/5 = 5x/5
6 =x
Figure 6 has 37 tiles
c. In the equation y = mx + b, what do the letters m and b represent?
m is the slope or how much it is increasing each time x increases by 1 and b is how much we start with when x =0
Taking 20 away from 50 will result in 30
