We can rephrase the question as "What percent of 50 is 20?".
"What percent ..." is an unknown. We'll use the variable x to represent this unknown.
The word 'of' in mathematics can mean 'multiply'. Likewise the word 'is' can mean 'equal'.
Now we have the phrase "20 equals to x times 50".
Or in an equation: 20 = x * 50
Solve for x.
20 = x * 50
= x <-- Divide both sides by 50
Simplify the fraction.
Convert the fraction into a decimal.
= 0.4
Convert the decimal into a percent.
0.4 = 40%
So, 40% is the answer.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
(1/8) ( 7 + sqrt(481) )
(1/8) ( 7 - sqrt(481) )
Discussion:
The equation is equivalent to 4x^2 - 7x -27 = 0 (as 3 + 24 = 0), Using the quadratic formula:
x = ( - (-7) +\- sqrt ((-7)^2- 4*4*(-27)) )/ (2*4)
= (1/8) ( 7 +\- sqrt(49+ 432) ) =
= (1/8) ( 7 +\- sqrt(481))

Answer:
(1) Opportunity, (2) Pressure, and (3) Rationalization must exist for a person to commit fraud.
Important to Note:
Pressure is sometimes referred to as <em>motivation</em> or <em>incentive.</em>
Rationalization is sometimes called <em>justification</em> or <em>attitude.</em>
Complete question :
Jenna’s method: Mia’s method: 5(30 + 4) 5(30 + 4) (5)(30) + (5)(4) 5(34) = 170 150 + 20 = 170 Explain why both Jenna and Mia arrived at the same answer and the advantage of one method over the other.
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Jenna's method :
5(30 + 4) = 5(34) = 170
Mia’s method :
5(30 + 4) :
5(30) + 5(4)
150 + 20
= 170
With both methods, we will arrive at the same answer as justified in the workings above. However, Jenna's method gives a very simple approach and less complicated arithmetic by using the distributive property to overrode some multiplication process which Mia went through in her own calculation. Therefore, Jenna's method is less complicated and requires two simple steps at obtaining the final result.
Answer:
y=-48
Step-by-step explanation:
y/6-3=-11
y/6=-8
multiply 6/1 on each side
y=-48
