1. We assume, that the number 3000 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
<span>2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for. </span>
<span>3. If 100% equals 3000, so we can write it down as 100%=3000. </span>
<span>4. We know, that x% equals 600 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=600. </span>
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3000
2) x%=600
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=3000/600
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for 600 is what percent of 3000
100%/x%=3000/600
<span>(100/x)*x=(3000/600)*x - </span>we multiply both sides of the equation by x
<span>100=5*x - </span>we divide both sides of the equation by (5) to get x
<span>100/5=x </span>
<span>20=x </span>
<span>x=20
So 600 is 20% of 3000</span>
Line b and h because to find radius it half of the diameter of STRAIGHT lines
2/5 were sold in the morning. This is equal to 40% of the total. That leaves 60% leftover.
3/4 were sold in the afternoon. This is equal to 75% of the 60% leftover or 45% of the total (.6x.75).
The difference between the two sales is 24 cartons or 5% (45%-40%). If 5% is equal to 24 then you can cross multiply to see what is the equivalent number of cartons out of 100%.
5/100 = 24/x
5x = 24(100)
5x = 2400
x = 480
ANSWER: 480 cartons
