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!
You are looking for the average. To find the average, one adds all terms and divides by the number of terms.
((1/2)+(5/6))/2
((3/6)+(5/6))/2
(8/6)/2
(4/6)
(2/3)
The answer is B) 2/3.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
12c + 14d - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
16d + 20c + 5d -7 - 8c - 7d + 3
Simplify the expression
__________________________
To solve, we need to first take in mind the fact that there are different like terms within this expression. Like terms are numbers or values that end in different symbols, such as variables or exponents. Since we are filled with variables such as c and d. We can do as followed :
Combine the "d" like terms :
16d + 5d - 7d
21d - 7d
14d
Combine the "c" like terms :
20c - 8c
12c
Combine the constants :
-7 + 3
-4
Now add all of the values together to get the final expression.
12c + 14d - 4
