A family paid $26.400 as a down payment for a home. If this represents 16% of the price of the home, find the price of the home.

1 answer:

7 0

The correct answer is:

How to find X if P percent of it is Y. Use the percentage formula Y/P% = X

Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: Y/P% = X
Y is 26,400, P% is 16%, so the equation is 26,400/16% = X
Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100.
Converting 16% to a decimal: 16/100 = 0.16
Substitute 0.16 for 16% in the equation: 26,400/0.16 = X
Do the math: 26,400/0.16 = X
X = 165,000
So $ 165,000 is the price of the home.

I hope this helps you!!

Decimal numbers can be changed into mixed or ordinary fractions

Mixed fractions consist of integers and ordinary fractions

Decimal numbers have numbers in the form of thousands. Hundreds, tens, thousandths, hundredths, tenths and ones

The results of the division of decimal numbers with numbers 10,100,1000, 10000 and so on can be determined by shifting the comma to the left according to the number of zeros

If you divide a decimal number, you try to make the divisor an integer

Total fencing/week = 42.6 meters

Monday + Tuesday = 13.45+9.5 meters = 22.95 meters

so for 3 days (Wednesday-Friday) = 42.6 - 22.95 = 19.65 meters

Then on eachof the last three days : 19.65 : 3 = 6.55 meters
