Answer:
16 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
First we are told that a container has a capacity of 16 ounces of liquid and therefore 16 ounces of liquid can fill that one container
The 16 ounces liquid from the 16 ounce container is fully emptied in a larger container and fills 87.5% of the larger container therefore the larger container is:
100/87.5×16 ounces= 18.285 ounces in liquid capacity
Therefore to fill the smaller 16 ounce container, the larger container would have to pour 16 ounces of liquid into the smaller container, and would would still have 18.285-16=2.285 ounces if it(the larger container) were filled to the brim(100%)
I'll do the first two problems to get you started. All problems shown will use the same formula.
===========================================
Problem 4
The formula to use is
C = 100*(B-A)/A
where
A = old value
B = new value
C = percent change
In this case, A = 12 and B = 36, so
C = 100*(B-A)/A
C = 100*(36-12)/12
C = 100*(24/12)
C = 100*2
C = 200%
We have a 200% increase. It is an increase because the value of C is positive.
===========================================
Problem 5
Use the same formula as in the previous problem. This time,
A = 75 is the old value
B = 25 is the new value
C = 100*(B-A)/A
C = 100*(25-75)/75
C = 100*(-50/75)
C = 100*(-2/3)
C = -66.6667%
C = -66.7%
The value of C is negative, so we have a percent decrease of roughly 66.7%
Answer:
=0.291
Step-by-step explanation:
number of residents who have completed some college =5372
number of residents who has completed college and age group 20-29years=1563
1563/5372
=0.29095
