To find a percentage of a number we multiply the percentage times the number and get the result, here we have the percentage and the result and need to find out which number it corresponds to, lets write an equation to do so and keep in mind that the percentage itself can be written in a different way:
225% = 225 out of 100 = 225/100
So we have this equation, where we call x the number we are looking for:
<span>(225%)(x) = 81
</span>(225/100)(x) = 81
so we solve for x:
225x = 81*100 = 8100
x = 8100/225
x = 36
The original number is 36, hence 225% of 36 is 81
The answer to this question has to be D. 42.75 square inches.
Answer:
3 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
If two gallons of paint covers 800 square feet, 'x' gallons of paints will cover 1200square feet room where x is the number of gallons needed to paint the 1200 square feet room.
Mathematically,
2 gallons = 800sq.ft
x gallons = 1,200sq.ft
x × 800 = 2 × 1200
x = 2 × 1200/800
x = 3 gallons
Therefore Leah will need 3gallons of paint for 1200sq.ft room
