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.

You need a 45% alcohol solution. On hand, you have a 175 mL of a 25% alcohol mixture. You also have 70% alcohol mixture. How muc
Bezzdna [24]

175 mL at 25% concentration of alcohol contains 0.25 (175 mL) = 43.75 mL of alcohol. If <em>v</em> is the amount of the 70% solution that you use, then that amount contains 0.7<em>v</em> mL of alcohol.

Mixing these two yields a total volume of 175 mL + <em>v</em>, and it contains 43.75 mL + 0.7<em>v</em> alcohol. You want to end up with a concentration of 45%, which means the ratio of the amount of alcohol to the total volume needs to be 0.45:

(43.75 mL + 0.7<em>v</em>) / (175 mL + <em>v</em>) = 0.45

Solve for <em>v</em> :

43.75 mL + 0.7<em>v</em> = 0.45 (175 mL + <em>v</em>)

43.75 mL + 0.7<em>v</em> = 78.75 mL + 0.45<em>v</em>

0.25<em>v</em> = 35 mL

<em>v</em> = 140 mL
