I would use the decimal form of 5.4%. It is very easy to convert a percentage into a decimal. All you have to do is move the decimal point two places to the left and remove the % sign.
5.4% = 0.054
So, 0.054 would be your multiplier.
5.14- 3.89 = 1.25 1.25/ 0.25 =5 m=5 I think, you might want to check it :)
Step-by-step explanation:
7/10 - 1/2 = 7/10 - 5/10 = 2/10
<span>Two teams are playing basketball. Team 1 scored 3.5 times the number of points per basket. Team 2 scored 8 times the number of points per basket. They would've each scored the same amount of points if Team 1 had scored 54 more points.
Solve:
54+3.5x=8x :Write out the equation
-3.5x -3.5x :Subtract 3.5x from both sides to isolate the variable
54=4.5x :Simplify
/4.5 /4.5 :Divide by 4.5 on both sides
12=x :Answer=12
Next you would find each team's score:
8x= 8(12)= 96 :substitute and solve
Each team score is 96 points
(Note: Since each team score was equal, you don't have to solve for each team, just one and preferably the easier one, and that is the score that each team scored.) </span>
15%. 480-72=408
480x15%= 72
