Answer: 300
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be represented by x.
Therefore, based on the information given in the question, this can be expressed as:
36% of x = 108
36/100 × x = 108
0.36 × x = 108
0.36x = 108
x = 108/0.36
x = 300
Therefore, the number is 300
Answer: 11/20
55/100 simplified is 11/20
Divide the top by bottom. So 17 divided by 4. Which would be around 4.25
Lets write the problem info into an equation and solve step by step:
7(1/3 + 4/5)
the minimum common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15, so we multiply and divide the fractions by a proper number to convert them to be divided by 15 so is easier to add them:
<span>(1/3)(5/5) = (1*5)/(3*5) = 5/15
(4/5)(3/3) = (4*3)/(5*3) = 12/15
</span>so we substitute in the original equation:
7(1/3 + 4/5<span>)
</span>= 7(5/15 + 12/15<span>)
= 7(17/15)
= (7*17)/15
= 119/15</span>
