To find a percentage of a number, you divide by that number.
So to find what percent of 150 162 is, you divide 162 by 150
162 ÷ 150 = 1.08
Now, to find the percentage, we take the decimal and move the point two places to the right.
1.08 = 108%
162 is 108% of 150.
Answer: 4
Step-by-step explanation:
42,600 - 25,800 = 16800. That is the increase in 15 years.
You then calculate the increase as a percentage of the original population; 25,800.
16,800 / 25,800 * 100 = 65.11%
The answer is 20. The way I do it is divide 12 by 6 then multiply it by 10 (it works as long as the denominator is ten).
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.
