4% of what number is 40?

Mathematics

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

X divided by 8=1.5 divided by 2<br><br> solve for "x"
Travka [436]
1. 1,5 divided by 2 is 0,75 so on the right side its 0,75

2. We make x/8 = 0,75 | *8

so we get: x = 0,75 * 8

which is the same as x = 6

so the answer is x = 6

Equation at the end of step1: (7x + 18) (4) - 4x = 0 2 STEP2:Equation at the end of step 2 2 • (7x + 18) - 4x = 0 STEP3:STEP4:Pulling out like terms

 4.1     Pull out like factors :

   10x + 36  =   2 • (5x + 18) 

Equation at the end of step4: 2 • (5x + 18) = 0 STEP5:Equations which are never true:

 5.1      Solve :    2   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

 5.2      Solve  :    5x+18 = 0 

 Subtract  18  from both sides of the equation : 

                      5x = -18

Divide both sides of the equation by 5:

                     x = -18/5 = -3.600

Anthony has a combination of 104 nickels and quarters totaling $22. Which system of linear equations can be used to find the num
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The answer is c and we'll use c to get the actual answers.

A) n + q = 104

B) .05n + .25q = 22 we'll multiply B) by -4

B) -.2n -1q = -88 then we add A)

A) n + q = 104 which equals

.8n = 16

n = 20 nickels

q = 84 quarters

20 nickels = $1

84 quarters = $21

Successful!!!
