4% of what number is 40?

Answer: 1,000

Step-by-step explanation: Well <em>percent</em> means over 100 so we know that 4% means the same thing as 4/100. <em>Of</em> means <em>times</em>, <em>what number</em> means <em>x</em>, <em>is</em> means equals, and <em>40 </em>means <em>40</em>.

So we have the equation 4/100 · x = 40.

Notice that 4/100 can be reduced to 1/25.

So rewriting our problem we have x/25 = 40.

To get rid of the fraction, we multiply both sides of the equation by 25 and we have x = 1,000.

Now let's check our answer back in the

original problem to see if it makes sense.

We have <em>4% of 1,000 is 40</em>.

Well we know that 100% of 1,000 would be 1,000 so 4% of 1,000 should be alot less than 1,000 so 40 seems to make sense.

I have also attached my own work in the image provided.

Answer: 1000

Step-by-step explanation: you do 4% multiplied by x = 40

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 4,

we have x = 40 × 100/4

40×100÷4

And you get 1000

Identify the slope by converting standard form into slope-intercept form.<br> 12x - 9y = -9
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

12x-9y=-9

9y=12x-(-9)

9y=12x+9

y=12/9x+9/9

y=4/3x+1

y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y-intercept,

so the slope is 4/3
