Let's just change your problem to 147 of 30%
"Of" is always equaling to multiplication (×)
Now, it would be easier to simplify
30% (147)
30% ÷ 100 = 0.3
0.3(147)
Now, we get to your answer which might be 44.1
Biased or Unbiased:
Take 20 packages off the top of the load of packages being shipped by a truck and measure the amount of damage expected to the whole truckload.
Answer: It is a biased way of taking sample. Because the top layer of packages has less weight resting on it and may have less damage. Therefore, the given statement is biased and based on these 20 packages of the top of the load, we can not make a decision about how much damage a truckload contains.
Solve for m by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
m = 66
