To determine this, we need to set up fractional proportions.
First, put 12.5% (what we're looking for) over 100%, which is the total (256).
12.5/100 should be your first fraction.
Now, put x over 256, x being 12.5% of 256.
x/256 should be your second fraction.
Now put these two fractions as an equation.
x/256 = 12.5/100
This may be where things get tricky if you don't pay attention.
Cross multiply the top number (numerator) of x/256 with the bottom number (denominator) of 12.5/100.
You should end up with 100x.
Now, cross multiply the top number of 12.5/100 with the bottom number of x/256.
You should end up with 3200.
Now our equation is:
100x = 3200
Divide both sides by 100 to get x.
100x/100 = x
3200/100 = 32
x = 32 is now your simplified equation.
Your final answer is:
32 is 12.5% of 256.
Also, since 12.5% is 1/8 of 100%, we can test our answer.
Multiply 32 by 8 to get 8/8 (100%).
32 x 8 = 256.
Your answer is 32.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
Interest rate is 5.25% a year.
Step-by-step explanation:
r = (1/54)((22252.5/18000) - 1) = 0.004375
r = 0.004375
Convert decimal to percentage
R = 0.004375 * 100 = 0.4375%/month
Calculate annual rate
0.4375%/month × 12 months/year = 5.25% per year.
Answer:
112 tiles
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = 28ft sq
Tiles are 1/4 each sqft
We are working cube square inside cube ft square = 1 sq /4 (for multiplier).
= 4 x 28 = 112
112 x 0.25 = 28 to check.
112 x 0.25 x 4 = 112 is the multiplier to check again.
Answer:
f(3) = -20
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the value of a function, substitute the number for the variable and do the arithmetic.
f(x) = -2x^2 +x -5 . . . . . . given
f(3) = -2(3^2) +(3) -5 . . . . function value for x = 3
f(3) = -2(9) +3 -5 = -18 +3 -5
f(3) = -20
