Hey there
Lets solve this question together,
Convert <span>76.8%</span><span> to a decimal.
</span>
Multiply 0.768<span> by </span>x<span> to get </span><span>0.768x</span><span>.
</span>
Multiply<span> each </span>term<span> by </span><span>1 / 0.768</span><span> and simplify.
</span>
Cancel the common factor of 0.768.
Divide 40.32<span> by </span>0.768<span> to get </span><span>52.5
</span>

Proportions are very simple once you get the hang of them! What you do is cross multiple. :)
1. x/8=5/16
You first start by multiplying x and 16
Then multiply 5 and 8
So now you have 16x=40
Finally divide 16 from each side
You get: x+0.4!
2. 5/12=15/x
Remember to cross-multiply!
Now we have 5x=180
Next divide 5 from each side
You get: x=36!
Step-by-step explanation:
If the library surveyed 240 people and only 15% chose documentaries, then only 36 people chose documentaries and the other 204 chose something else other than documentaries. You had to get 15% into decimal form and to do that you move the "." in 15.0% left 2 places so you get 0.15. Then you multiply 240 by 0.15 and you get 36.
