So first you take 5% of 420 and you get 21. Then you subtract the 5% (21) from 420 and you get 399. So, Slytherin got a 399 points! Hope I helped and also I love Harry Potter so much, so this question caught my eye, lol! :P

What is 25% of 400 5% of 20
stiks02 [169]

Hello there!


What is 25% of 400?

\frac{25*400}{100}

= \frac{10,000}{100}

= 100

Thus,

25% of 400 is 100


What is 5% of 20?

Well, we just need to follow the previous steps.

\frac{5*20}{100}

= \frac{100}{100} = 1

Thus,

5% of 20 is 1


I hope this answer helps. Let me know if you have additional questions about the answer. As always, it is my pleasure helping student like you.

Demonstrate two different ways to solve the equation 5^(2x+1) = 25.
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1: Taking the log of both sides...

So take the log of both sides...

5^(2x + 1) = 25

log 5^(2x + 1) = log 25 <-- use property: log (a^x) = x log a...

(2x + 1)log 5 = log 25 <-- distribute log 5 inside the brackets...

(2x)log 5 + log 5 = log 25 <-- subtract log 5 both sides of the equation...

(2x)log 5 + log 5 - log 5 = log 25 - log 5

(2x)log 5 = log (25/5) <-- use property: log a - log b = log (a/b)

(2x)log 5 = log 5 <-- divide both sides by log 5

(2x)log 5 / log 5 = log 5 / log 5 <--- this equals 1..

2x = 1

x=1/2

Method 2

5^(2x+1)=5^2

2x+1=2

2x=1

x=1/2
