Answer:

<em>740</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>If we substitute "what number" in the question "111 is 15 percent of what number?" with 740, we get this sentence: 111 is 15 percent of 740. Since this statement is true, we know that our answer is correct.</em>

<em />

<em>Following shows the steps on how to derive this formula</em>

<em>Step 1: If 15% of a number is 111, then what is 100% of that number? Setup the equation.</em>

<em>111          Y</em>

<em>------  =   -------</em>

<em> 15         100%</em>

<em>Step 2: Solve for Y</em>

<em>Using cross multiplication of two fractions, we get</em>

<em>15Y = 111 x 100</em>

<em>15Y = 11100</em>

<em>Y = 11100</em>

<em>100 = 740</em>

<em>Formula = Number x 100     111 x 100</em>

<em>                  --------------------- = ------------  = 740</em>

<em>                    Percent              15</em>

<em>Hope this helps </em>

Answer:

16.65

Step-by-step explanation:

15 percent of 111 is the same as 15 per hundred of 111. We can therefore make the following equation:

15/100 = X/111

To solve the equation above for X, you first switch the sides to get the X on the left side, then you multiply each side by 111, and then finally divide the numerator by the denominator on the right side to get the answer. Here is the work to illustrate:

15/100 = X/111

X/111 = 15/100

X*111/111 = 15*111/100

X = 1665/100

X = 16.65

or

The work above shows the long way to explain how to calculate 15 percent of 111 in order to give you a foundation and better understanding of how to calculate percentage. In the future, you could use this simplified formula:

(Y * P)/100

In our problem "What is 15 percent of 111?", Y is 111 and P is 15:

(111 * 15)/100 = 16.65

And once again you see that the answer is 16.65.

Anit [1.1K]
Okay so this is going to be confusing but work from right to left. since you can’t do 0-5, borrow from the one next to the zero on the top, cross out the one and put zero and add a one on top of the zero which makes it 10. now you can do 10-5 to get 5. put the five down below the line. next solve the second column of numbers ( second to the right). since you cannot do 0- 3, like the last one, you have to borrow from the 7 over to the left. take one from there and cross the seven out and put a six. now you have 10-3 which is 7. put the 7 down. now do move to the next column and do 6-2 to get 4. put the four down below the line. move to the next column and do 2-2 to get 0. put the zero down below the line. lastly, we know the answer has to be negative so we are going to do 2-7 to get -5. put -5 down below the line and together to get the answer -502,275. i know that was very confusing but i hope it helped a little bit. i added a picture to clarify a little

Question 6 (1 point)
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Zero

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 7 = 3x - 9 + 2

3x - 7 = 3x - 7

Add 7 on both sides

3x = 3x

Subtract 3x you get 0.

Hope this helps.

Gina has 5 2/6 feet of silver ribbon and 2 4/6 of gold ribbon. how much more silver ribbon does gina have than golden ribbon?
MrRissso [65]
To answer the question above, we are simply to subtract the length of the gold ribbon which is 2 4/6 ft from the length of the silver ribbon, 5 2/6 feet. Mathematically,
                                5 2/6 feet - 2 4/6 feet = 8/3 feet 
Therefore, Gina has 8/3 feet more of the silver ribbon than the golden ribbon.
