To find what the number is, we need to set up proportional fractions.
Currently, we have 8% of a number is 20.
To set up our fractions, put 100% under 8% as a fraction first.
It should look like this: 8/100 (hint: per-cent means per-hundred).
Now, we have 20 out of a number, x. This is because we are claiming that 20 is 8% of a number (if we just reword the question without changing the concept).
It should look like this: 20/x.
Our proportional fractions are:
20/x = 8/100.
To solve for this, we need to cross-multiply the denominator of 8/100 (bottom number, 100) with the numerator of 20/x (top number, 20).
This product equation should look like this:
20 x 100 (when simplified, we get 2000).
Now, we need to cross multiply the numerator of 8/100 (top number, 8) with the denominator of 20/x (bottom number, x).
This product equation should look like this:
8x.
Now that we've cross-multiplied, set our two products as an equation.
8x = 2000.
To solve for x, divide both sides by 8 (remember, what you do to one side of an equation, you must do it to the other).
8x / 8 = x
2000 / 8 = 250.
x = 250
Your final answer is:
8% of 250 is 20.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
C
HOWEVER: "Less Than" is usually depicted as a dashed line at the border. and there MUST be an OR between these two equations to include all of the blue area. An "and" there would exclude the area between the edge lines.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + y < 10
y < -2x + 10
3x + 2y < 12
2y < -3x + 12
y < -1.5x + 6
Answer: a= c+11
Step-by-step explanation:
a has 9 more than b which has 2less than c
D because a has to be younger than 18 and it has to be positive because we are never a negative age. do you understand when i mean?
