Make an equation out of the statement "51 is 6% of what number".

Remember:
-- 6%  means 0.06
-- "is" means the same as "equals"
-- in math, "of" almost always means "times"

Give the answer a label, and you'll be ready to begin.
Let's call it ' M ' for "mystery number".

                       51    is    6%    of    (the answer)

                       51    =   0.06    x         M   

Can you solve that equation and find out what ' M ' is ?

What if you divide each side by  0.06 ?
Then it says
                       51 / 0.06    =    M

Pick up your pencil or your calculator, and divide 51 by 0.06 .
You get  850 .  Now your equation says

                             850  =  M

Isn't that exactly what you want ?
It says 'Mystery number' is  850 .

Try it on your calculator.
Take  6%  of  850 .  You'll get  51, just like the problem says.

<span><span>Okay, so let's start by setting up this problem:
</span>(original number=x)(percentage=.06)=(percentage of original number)</span>
So it should look like this:
<span>(x)(.06)=51 Now we should divide .06 from each side
</span><span>x=850 And there we go! 850 is the answer.
i hope this help

Select the locations on the number line to plot the points 9/2 and −7/2 .
myrzilka [38]
To plot these points on the number line, you should label the long lines on the number line as such starting from the left (-5-already there, -4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5-already there).

Now take each number and convert the improper fraction into a mixed number. 9/2 = 4 1/2 and -7/2 = -3 1/2.

4 1/2 would plotted on the line exactly in between the 4 and 5.

-3 1/2 would be plotted on the line exactly halfway between -3 and -4.

You will draw a dot to show each of these positions on a number line.

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

The percent change in Nancy height is 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : when Nancy started middle school, she was 60 inches tall. when she started high school, she was 66 inches tall.

We have to find the percent change in her height.

Percentage change is given by the ratio of the difference in old value and new value to the old value times 100

Mathematically written as

Percentage\ change =\frac{new\ value-old\ value}{Old\ value}\times 100

For the given data,

Old value = 60 inches

New value = 66 inches

Thus, the Percentage change is given as,

Percentage\ change =\frac{66-60}{60}\times 100

Simlify, we have,

Percentage\ change =\frac{6}{60}\times 100

Thus, The percent change in her height is 10%
