To figure this out you must do a proportion. Typically you would do
This means that you would set up your proportions like this:
^^^you want to find 2% of 50, so 50 is the "whole" and x (what you are looking for) is the part. The reason there is the 100 is because % are always taken out of 100% , and therefore 100 is the "whole". 2 is on top of 100 because it is a "part" of 100
the next step is cross multiplication so you would get:
100x= (50*2) ---> 100x = 100
^^^you then solve this like a normal algebra equation to get x = 1
Hope this helped! Let me know if there is anything else I can do!
The water dispenser's capacity in liters is 20liters
Explanation:Given:
A water dispenser capacity = 20,000milliliters
To find
the capacity of the water dispenser in liters
To determine the capacity in liters, we will convert the capacity in ml to liters using the conversion:
1000ml = 1 liter
let the capacity of the water dispenser in Liters = y
The water dispenser's capacity in liters is 20liters
Answer:
15 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
there are 16 ounces in one pound
so...
first find the limit in ounces
because there are 16 ounces in every one pound you need to multiply 22 by 16
which is 352
now subtract what you already used
which is 240
now convert to pounds
which is 15
so 15 more pounds
