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!
The correct answer would be b. range. you take the largest amount and subtract the smallest amount giving you the range.

Answer:
The minimum value of f(x) is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
- To find the minimum value of the function f(x), you should find the value of x which has the minimum value of y, so we will use the differentiation to find it
- Differentiate f(x) with respect to x and equate it by 0 to find x, then substitute the value of x in f(x) to find the minimum value of f(x)
∵ f(x) = 2x² - 4x + 4
→ Find f'(x)
∵ f'(x) = 2(2)
- 4(1)
+ 0
∴ f'(x) = 4x - 4
→ Equate f'(x) by 0
∵ f'(x) = 0
∴ 4x - 4 = 0
→ Add 4 to both sides
∵ 4x - 4 + 4 = 0 + 4
∴ 4x = 4
→ Divide both sides by 4
∴ x = 1
→ The minimum value is f(1)
∵ f(1) = 2(1)² - 4(1) + 4
∴ f(1) = 2 - 4 + 4
∴ f(1) = 2
∴ The minimum value of f(x) is 2
