Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
EXAMPLE #1:
What number is 75% of 4? (or Find 75% of 4.)
The PERCENT always goes over 100.
(It's a part of the whole 100%.)
4 appears with the word of:
It's the WHOLE and goes on the bottom.
A proportion showing one fraction with PART as the numerator and 4 as the denominator equal to another fraction with 75 as the numerator and 100 as the denominator.
We're trying to find the missing PART (on the top).
In a proportion the cross-products are equal: So 4 times 75 is equal to 100 times the PART.
The missing PART equals 4 times 75 divided by 100.
(Multiply the two opposite corners with numbers; then divide by the other number.)
4 times 75 = 100 times the part
300 = 100 times the part
300/100 = 100/100 times the part
3 = the part
A proportion showing the denominator, 4, times the diagonally opposite 75; divided by 100.
-1.1 should be the right answer
46 = 5k - 59
46 + 59 = 5k
105 = 5k
105/5 = k
21 = k
k is 21
Answer:
7/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Total = 10W+14R
probability of red = R/total
10+14 = 24 so total = 24
R = 14
14/24
reduce (divide by two on the top and bottom)
14/2
-------
24/2
= 7/12
Answer:
b = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
3b1b-8 = 4
+8 +8
3b1b = 12
3b^2 = 12
/3 /3
b^2 = 4

b = 2
