Why do you multiply a percent by a number to find the percent of that number?

Mathematics

Harlamova29_29 [7]3 years ago

Because a percent is a fraction of 1/100 of a whole thing. for example a whole is 200 and we want to find the 37% of it, we would divide 200 over 100 (which is the percent of the whole thing) and the multiply it by 37 (that is the percentage of the part of the whole thing) and we get 74.
74=37% of 200

In the numerical sentence below, A = 8, D = 1/2 , and F = 1/4. What are the values B, C, and E if the sentence below is equivale
a_sh-v [17]
B=3; C=16; and E=4096.

Using the information we have gives us

8^B \times C^{\frac{1}{2}} = E^{\frac{1}{4}}

We know that:
8^B = 2;
\\
\\C^{\frac{1}{2}}=4;
\\
\\E^{\frac{1}{4}}=8

We know that 2³ = 8, so B = 3.

To "undo" a square root, we square the number; 4²=16, so C = 16.

To "undo" a fourth root, we raise the answer to the fourth power; 8⁴ = 4096, so E = 4096.

What is the answer to this?
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Up

Step-by-step explanation:

Y= 1x^2 + 3x + 9

Y= Ax^2 + Bx + C

To determine which way a parabola opens just look at the coefficient (the number) of the x^2 - Always use the coefficient that is beside the x^2

So,  if the coefficient A is positive the parabola is opening upward

      if the coefficient A is negative the parabola is opening downward

Katrina goes to Road Runner after school and purchases a soda for 1.50, chips for 3.50 and a candy bat for 0.50 An additional 8%
Nutka1998 [239]

<u>Answer:</u>

Sale tax paid by Katrina is 0.44 units of currency and total amount paid is 5.94 unit of currency.

<u> Solution:</u>

Given that Katrina goes to road runner after school and purchase following three products

A soda for 1.50  

Chips for 3.50

Candy for 0.50

Also she pays 8% sales tax.

Need to determine amount paid in sales tax and total amount paid by Katrina.

lets first calculate amount she paid without taxes.  

Total paid amount without taxes = 1.50 + 3.50 + 0.50 = 5.50

As she paid 8% sale tax , that is 8 % of 5.50

so sale tax paid = \frac{8}{100} \times 5.50 = 0.44

<em>Total amount paid = Total amount paid without taxes + tax paid </em>

= 5.50 + 0.44 = 5.94

Hence sale tax paid by Katrina is 0.44 units of currency and total amount paid is 5.94 unit of currency.

About 33% of people who get their feet examined are found to have an ingrown toenail. What is the probability of a podiatrist ex
enot [183]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.94147

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A denote the event that the podiatrist finds the first person with an ingrown toenail.

And (1 - A) denote the event that the podiatrist does not find the ingrown toenail.

While examining seven people, the podiatrist can find the very first person to have an ingrown toenail. Similarly he can find the second patient to have the ingrown toenail. Going in this way the probability of the first person to have an ingrown toenail is given by:

= A + (1 - A) × A + (1 - A) × (1 - A) × A + (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × A + (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × A + (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × A + (1 - A) × (1 - A) ×  (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × A.

= \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} .

= \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} + (\frac{2}{3}) ^{2} \frac{1}{3} + (\frac{2}{3})^{3} \frac{1}{3} + (\frac{2}{3})^{4} \frac{1}{3} + (\frac{2}{3})^{5} \frac{1}{3} + (\frac{2}{3})^{6} \frac{1}{3}.

= 0.94147

We can also solve the above expression by using the geometric progression formula as well where common ratio is given by \dfrac{2}{3}.
