Assume that 40 percent of X is 55
This means X (40 / 100) = 55 
0.4 X = 55 
X = 55 / 0.4 
X = 137.5 
55 is 40 percent of 137.5

Simple just do 55/0.40 and that gets you 137.5
so 40% of 137.5=55 here is the proof 137.5x0.40=55

Answer is 137.5

Prove that the product of any two consecutive natural numbers is even.

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the 2 consecutive natural numbers are 'n' and 'n+1'

Thus the product of the 2 numbers is given by

$Product=n(n+1)\\\\$

We know that the sum of 'n' consecutive natural numbers starting from 1 is

$S_n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\\\\\therefore n(n+1)=2\times S_n............(i)$

Thus from equation 'i' we can write

$Product=2\times S_n$

As we know that any number multiplied by 2 is even thus we conclude that the product of 2 consecutive numbers is even.

H and J are both between G and K such that GH = JK and H is between G and J.

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So the order of the points is: GHJK

GH = x+10 =JK

HJ=8

JK=2x-4

JK = x+10=2x-4

x+10=2x-4

10+4=2x-x

x=14

GH= 14+10 =24

GJ = GH +HJ = 24+ 8=32
