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.

determine the diameter to the nearest inch of a large can of tuna that has a volume 6068 inches and a height of 3.3 inches
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The diameter of can is<u> 48 inches</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Volume of can = 6068 inches.

And height(h) = 3.3 inches.

Now, to find the diameter.

Diameter = 2 × radius

Let radius be r.

So, by putting the formula of volume we get the radius:

Volume =\pi r^2h

6068=3.14\times r^2\times 3.3 (taking the value of π=3.14)

6068=10.362\times r^2

<em>Dividing both sides by 10.362 we get:</em>

585.60=r^2

<em>Using square root on both sides we get</em>:

24.199=r

<em>Radius = 24.199 inches.</em>

Then, we get the diameter:

Diameter = 2 × radius

Diameter = 2 × 24.199 = 48.398 inches.

Diameter = 48 inches (rounding to nearest, inch as in the place of tenth it is 3 which is less than 5.)

Therefore, the diameter of can is 48 inches.

What’s the missing angle
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

A) 150

Step-by-step explanation:

All the angles in a triangle must add up to a total of 180 degrees.

So we can make an equation as given below:

20+10+?=180

30+?=180

?=150

So the missing angle is 150 degrees

QUICKLY PLEASE!!<br> 18POINTS!<br> 6(3p – 2) = 24
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

p= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you want to distribute the 6 to 3p-2 which basically means multiply

6(3p – 2) = 24

6 times 3p is 18 and 6 time -2 is -12

* remember a negative and a positive equal a negative*

18p-12=24

you want to get 18p by itself, so in order to do that you can add 12 to both sides because if you add 12 on the left side it cancels out -12 and whatever you do to one side you have to do it to the other so add 12 to 24 which is 36

18p = 36

since you want to get p by itself you divide p on both sides so it can cancel out 18 and 36/18 is 2

so p = 2

if you are wondering why i divide it and not subtract or add it is because 18 and p are stuck together so you have to divide but if it  was like 18 + p you can subtract because 18 and p arent together
