Answer:

400 red boxes were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Our output value is 2000.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with x.

Step 3: From step 1 above,2000=100%.

Step 4: Similarly, x=40%.

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

2000=100%

x=40%(2)

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

equations have the same unit (%); we have

2000/x = 100%/40%

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

x/2000 = 40%/100%

x=800

Therefore, 40% of 2000 is 800

and to find 50% just divide by 2

The large rectangle below represents one whole. What percent is represented by the shaded area? (URGENT)
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole rectangle is split into 5 parts. Two out of 5 parts are shaded.

Set up a fraction:

\frac{\text{Shaded}}{\text{Whole}}=\frac{2}{5}

Convert into a decimal:

\frac{2}{5}= 0.4

Multiply the decimal by 100 to get the percent:

0.4*100=40

So, forty percent of the rectangle is shaded.

Hope this helps.
