Answer:
<em>39 is 26.71% of 146</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentage solution with steps:
Step 1: We make the assumption that 146 is 100% since it is our output value.
Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with x.
Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100% = 146.
Step 4: In the same vein, x% = 39.
Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:
100% = 146(1).
x%=39(2).
Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS (left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have
100/x% = 146/39
Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields
x% / 100% = 39/146 ⇒ x= 26.71%
Therefore, 39 is 26.71% of 146.

Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us always base on the present age. We denote this by x. Now, the age he had 2 years ago would then be denoted as (x-2). Let's equate this to 20 years old.
x - 2 = 20
x = 20 + 2
x = 22 years old
He should be 22 years old now.
Let's check the other condition. After 1 year, his age should be (x+1). Let's equate this to 23 years old.
x + 1 = 23
x = 23 - 1
x = 22
Thus, this is possible if Reuben is 22 years old as of the present.
