Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use any data set in this table (except the row with x) to get the ratio.
so 20/196 is the ratio which equals about .102041
then multiply that decimal by the weight in the x row to see what x is
so 1078(.102041) = 110.000198 just round that to 110. you can also verify that ratio by checking other data points. for instance
490(.102041) = 50.00009 or 50
so you know x is 50 so answer is either b or d
then you know the ratio .102041, so does (10/98) = .102041
or does (98/10) = .102041
if you do the division you will see that (10/98) = .102041
so the answer is D

I like to do these equations backwards and multiply the first number by the opposite of it. ( think 1- the percent as a decimal) however, you can do this by converting the percent into a decimal and then subtracting that from the original number.
Have a great day!
Answer:
<em>Peter now has 54 baseball cards</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Percentages</u>
Assume Peter had x baseball cards in his collection. The 35% of his initial collection is
35 * x / 100= 0.35x
We know that those 14 new baseball cards represent a 35% of his previous collection, therefore we can set a simple equation
0.35x=14
When we solve for x, we'll know how many baseball cards Peter had before
x=14 / 0.35 = 40
Peter had 40 cards, he added 14 new baseball cards, so he now has 40+14=54
Peter now has 54 baseball cards
