Let x and y be the numbers;
We have x + 2y = 9 and 2x + y = 21;
Then, x = 9 - 2y;
Finally, 2(9-2y) + y = 21 ;
18 - 4y + y = 21;
18 - 3y = 21;
-3y = 3;
y = - 1;
x = 9 - 2× (-1);
x = 9 + 2 ;
x = 11;

What percent of 1.60 is 6
JulsSmile [24]
N% x 1.60 = 6   (I turned it from English to math)
Can't move n% back two places to make it a decimal so I will move the number I am multiplying by n% back two places instead.
Here is a sample to show you why it works.    .34 x 57 = 34 x .57

So
.016n = 6   (.016 is 1.60 decimal moved back two places)

Now divide both sides by .016
<u>.016</u>n   = <u>6
</u><u />.016     .016      n = 375%     

Why is the percent over 100% you might ask?

What % of 1.60 is 1.60  (Answer - all of it or 100%)
So What % of 1.60 is 6  - the number 6 being much bigger than 1.60, it is not surprising that the percent is more than 100.

What % of 1.60 is 1.60  - 100%
What %  of 1.60 is 3.20 - 200%   (notice that 3.20 is twice 1.60)
What % of 1.6 is 4.80   - 300%   (notice that 4.80 is three times 1.60)
What % of 1.6 is  6.40   - 400%  (notice that  6.40 is four times 1.60)
6 (the number in the problem) is just a bit less than 6.40  so 375% makes a lot a sense.
Hope you found this helpful.
