78 is 65% of what number (can someone explain how to solve this?)​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anon25 [30]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

78 is 65% of what number.

Let's break down this expression.

In this case "is" means "equals" so we will use the equal sign (=)

65% can be written as 0.65 or 65/100

"of" indicates multiplication

"what number" will be represented by x.

Now, put this all together.

78 = 0.65 • x

To solve for x, divide both sides by 0.65

120 = x

This is your answer.

Check this by finding 65% of 120.

0.65 • 120 = 78

Your answer is correct.

Hope this helps!

Find a three digit number. The tens digit is 3 time the hundreds digit. The sum of the digits is 15. If you reverse the digits,
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

number = 267

Step-by-step explanation:

i am a 3 digit number divisible by 3.

100a + 10b + c

my tens digit is 3 times as great as my hundreds digit

b = 3a, from this we know a = 1, 2, 3, then b = 3, 6, 9

and the sum of my digits is 15.

a + b + c = 15

if you reverse my digits i am divisible by 6 and 3

100c + 10b + a

this is a logic problem, an equation won't help us here

From the given information b = 3a, and the sum of the 3 digits = 15, we have:

1 3 ___; three single digits can't add up to 15

2 6 _7_; this has to be the number

3 9 _3_; reverse number is not different

Check for division by 3 and 6

267/3 = 89

762/6 = 127

267 is the number

Given the points A(3, 4) and B (6, 10), find the
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

P (5 , 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

P (x,y) partition A (x₁ , y₁) B (x₂ , y₂) into ratio AM:MB = a:b = 2:1  ... a=2 , b=1

x = (bx₁ + ax₂) / (a+b)

  = (1 * 3 + 2 * 6) / (2 + 1)

  = 15/3

  = 5

y = (by₁ + ay₂) / (a+b)

  = (1 * 4 + 2 * 10) / (2 + 1)

  = 24/3

  = 8

P (5 , 8)
