Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
In word problems, the word "of" usually means multiply. Thus, for example, 10% of $50 is $5. This is because we can write 10% as 0.10 or as 10/100 (which is 1/10) and then multiply: (1/10)(50) = 5
So, we often see equations like:
R = (1/2)D meaning R is 50% of D, or R is half of D
Let x = the number we want to find
This problem says:
"12 is 30% of what number?"
12 = (30/100) * x
12 = (3/10)x
(10/3)12 = x [multiply both sides by (10/3)]
40 = x
Checking (very important):
Is 12 = (3/10)(40) ?
12 = (3)(4) ?
12 = 12 ? yes
Answer:
6 games.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Monthly membership fee of store 1 is $7.5, but then the charge to rent a game is only $1.00
Another store has no membership fee, but that store charges $2.00 to rent a game.
Let there be n games needed to be rented each month for the total fees to be the same from either store.
Cost of first store = $7.50+$1.00n
Cost of another store = $2.00
If cost equals,
$7.50+$1.00n=$2
n=5.5
6
Hence, 6 games needed to be rented each month.
Answer:
They can be congurent depending on which two figures you are using
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1. 3.5% is 35/1000 as a fraction and 0.035 as a decimal.
2. 2.31 is 231% and 231/100
3. 23/25 is 92% and 0.92
4. 33% is 33/100 and 0.33
Step-by-step explanation:
For converting from fraction to decimal, simply divide the top by the bottom.
For converting from decimal to fraction, depending on how many places there are, you choose what to divide by. Ex: .002 (there are 3 places, it is divided by 1,000)
For fraction to percent, you divide the top by the bottom, make it a decimal, and move the decimal over two places to the right.
Answer:
37% of the backyard will not be covered by the water from the sprinkler.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sprinkler is at the centre (0,0). It squirts in a circular motion. The other end of the radius is at (12,16).
First we will calculate the radius of the circle.

Area of the circle = πr^2
= 3.1416*(20)^2
= 3.1416*400
= 1256.64
Area of yard = 40 ft * 50 ft
= 2000
Percent covered by the water = 100*(area of circle/area of yard)
= 100*(1256.64/2000)
= 100*(0.628)
= 62.8%
= 63%
Area not covered by the water = 100 - 63
= 37%
