The percent of said number must be over 100% because 100% is the whole value of a number
Ex:
105% of 20 is 21 because, 100% of 20 is 20 and 5% of 20 is 1
150% of 20 is 30 because, 100% of 20 is 20 and 50% of 20 is 10
Hope this helps
Supposing that the integers are x, y and z, and that their average is 8, then
x+y+z
-------- = 8, or x + y + z = 24.
3
Let's experiment. Making up a table, we get:
x y z sum (sum MUST be 24)
5 9 10 24
4 9 11 24
3 10 11 24
2 11 11 24
1 11 12 24
1 10 13 24
1 1 22 24
Can't choose integers smaller than 1, so it appears that 22 is the largest possible integer that could be one of x, y and z.
The answer would be: -5
Heres how you solve it!
First, change the x into a 0 so it can be removed.
y+2= -3/4*4
Now with the GCF you can reduce the numbers with 4.
y+2= -3
Then move the 2 to the other side causing it to change its sign into a negative
y= -3-2
Since -3 and -2 are both negative it would be -5
y= -5
then you are left with your answer.
Hope this helps! :3
