Answer :
x = 53.85
Step by step explanation:
If 78% of x (some numbers) is equal to 42, then we must set this as an equation to find it.
1) Rewriting 78% as a fraction and considering that when we say 78% of some number (x) we mean a product.
78% = 78/100 ➡️ 78/100x = 42
2) Then we can go on :
100 * 78/100x = 42 * 100
78x = 4200
78x/78 = 4200/78 ➡️ x = 53.85
3) Alternatively, simply dividing 42 by 0.78 (78%) would come to the same result :
42/0.78 = 53.85
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: if there are 500 pieces of paper and the entire stack is 1.875 inches tall, you devide the total height by 500. I know Deigo is wrong because you can easily reverse check his work by multiplying 0.015 by the total number of papers 500 you will get 7.5 which is not the height of the stack
1.875/500=0.00375
each piece of paper is 0.00375
6÷40.5= $6.75 per hour
8÷54= $6.75 per hour
y= 6.75x
