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
Answer:
so $21+45%=30.45. meaning that pair of boots cost 30.45 so two pairs of boots would cost $60.90

sorry but thx
Step-by-step explanation:
The weight in 1980 is 
kilograms
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
From 1980 to 1990, Lior’s weight increased by 25%
His weight is "k" kilograms in 1990
<em><u>To find: weight in 1980</u></em>
This is a percentage increase problem
Let "x" be the weight in kilograms in 1980
<em><u>The percentage increase is given by formula:</u></em>
Here,
Initial value in 1980 = x
Final value in 1990 = k
Percentage increase = 25 %
<em><u>Substituting the values in formula,</u></em>
Thus the weight in kilograms in 1980 is
