To find a percentage of a number, convert the percent to a decimal, then multiply the number by it. In this case, 16% = 0.16.
N * 0.16 = 17
N = 106.25

Given:
Number of jelly beens in the car: 785,000
Number of jelly beans in a bag: 800
Number of bags needed to fill the car?
785,000 / 800 = 981.25
Randall claimed = more than 981 bags
Susie claimed = exactly 981 bags.
Randall is correct. More than 981 bags.
981 x 800 = 784,800
There is a missing 200 jelly beans if exactly 981 bags were used. Thus, a quarter of the 982nd bag is used to complete the 785,000 jelly beans.
Answer:
881.5 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
The horizontal plane at the level of wai-kin's eyes divide the height of the cliff into two parts. Let the upper part be represented by x and the lower part be represented by y.
The height of the cliff = x + y
Applying the appropriate trigonometry functions.
To determine the value of x;
Tan θ = 
Tan 
= 
⇒ x = 490 x Tan
= 490 x 0.7265
= 355.985
x = 356 meters
To determine the value of y;
Tan θ =
Tan 
= 
⇒ y = 490 x Tan
= 490 x 1.0724
= 525.476
y = 525.5 meters
Therefore,
The height of the cliff = x + y
= 355.985 + 525.476
= 881.461
The height of the cliff is 881.5 meters.

Answer:
112
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the least common multiple, we break the numbers down into prime factors
7 = 7
14 = 7*2
16 = 2*8 = 2*4*2 = 2*2*2*2
Then we take the largest number of times it appears in all the numbers
2 appears 4 times so we take take four 2's
7 appears 1 so we take one 7
LCM = 2*2*2*2*7
LCM = 112
