To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.
1. We assume, that the number 45.5 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 45.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 45.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.81% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.81%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 45.5=100%
2) x=6.81%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
45.5/x=100%/6.81%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for what is 6.81% of 45.5
45.5/x=100/6.81
(45.5/x)*x=(100/6.81)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
45.5=14.684287812041*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.684287812041) to get x
45.5/14.684287812041=x
3.09855=x
x=3.09855
now we have:
6.81% of 45.5=3.09855
Hope this helps!
Answer:
$57
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Earnings per hour for washing cars = $9
Earnings per hour for walking dogs = $6
Number of hours for which car washing is done = 
Number of hours taken for walking dogs = 
Earnings for hours for washing cars = Per hour earnings multiplied by number of hours = $9
Earnings for hours for walking dogs = Per hour earnings multiplied by number of hours = $6
Total earnings by both = $()
Now, given that
Number of hours spent washing cars = 5 hours
Number of hours spent walking dogs = 2 hours
Therefore, total earnings by both = 9 
5 + 6 2 = <em>$57</em>

Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n = number of glasses needed
1 glass gives us 1*0.4 = 0.4 liters of water
2 glasses give us 2*0.4 = 0.8 liters
3 glasses give us 3*0.4 = 1.2 liters
4 glasses give us 4*0.4 = 1.6 liters
and so on...
In general,
n glasses give us n*0.4 = 0.4*n liters of water
So 0.4*n is going to be the same as 3.4 as we want to fill the 3.4 liter pitcher.
Set 0.4*n equal to 3.4 and solve for n
0.4*n = 3.4
0.4*n/0.4 = 3.4/0.4 <<--- divide both sides by 0.4
n = 8.5
If we want n to be a whole number, then round up to the nearest whole number. So we'll need 9 full glasses of water to fill the 3.4 liter pitcher. There is extra water in this case which isn't used.
So the answer is either 8.5 or 9 depending on if your teacher wants you to round to the nearest whole number.
