Answer:
.20
Step-by-step explanation:
The word percent literally means "Out of 100". With that being said, 20% can be written as a fraction, mixed number or whole number as follows: 1/5 (fraction), 20/100 (mixed number) or .20 (whole number).
Answer:
x > 5
Step-by-step explanation:
-5-7x < -40
Add 5 to each side
-5+5-7x < -40+5
-7x < -35
Divide by -7, remembering to flip the inequality
-7x/-7 > -35/-7
x > 5
Open circle at 5, going to the right
A good way to set up percentage problems is by using "Part = Percent × Whole".
In this case, our part is 140, our percent is 80 (because that 20% wa s took of from the original 100%), and our whole is unknown. If we fill in the equation we get this:
140=80×x.
if we solve the equation by dividing both sides by 80, we get $1.75=x. Because we replaced 80% with 80,we have to divide by 100 since we multiplied by 100 in the beginning. So, we get that $175 was the original price.
