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!

15+70+45=130 :)) that’s how u calculate the perimeter just add them all together.
Let x = number of adult tickets, and y = number of children tickets. One equation must deal with the number of tickets, and the other equation must deal with the revenue from the tickets.
Then x + y = 300 is the number of tickets
12x + 8y = 3280 is the revenue from the tickets.
Using the substitution method:
x + y = 300 ⇒ y = 300 - x ⇒ Equation (3)
12x + 8y = 3280 ⇒ 12x + 8(300-x) = 3280 ⇒ x = 220
y = 300 - x ⇒ y = 300-220 ⇒ 80
Therefore 220 adult tickets and 80 children's tickets were sold.
