Step-by-step explanation:

How to Calculate Percentages

There are many formulas for percentage problems. You can think of the most basic as X/Y = P x 100. The formulas below are all mathematical variations of this formula.

Let's explore the three basic percentage problems. X and Y are numbers and P is the percentage:

Find P percent of X

Find what percent of X is Y

Find X if P percent of it is Y

Read on to learn more about how to figure percentages.

1. How to calculate percentage of a number. Use the percentage formula: P% * X = Y

Example: What is 10% of 150?

Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: P% * X = Y

P is 10%, X is 150, so the equation is 10% * 150 = Y

Convert 10% to a decimal by removing the percent sign and dividing by 100: 10/100 = 0.10

Substitute 0.10 for 10% in the equation: 10% * 150 = Y becomes 0.10 * 150 = Y

Do the math: 0.10 * 150 = 15

Y = 15

So 10% of 150 is 15

Double check your answer with the original question: What is 10% of 150? Multiply 0.10 * 150 = 15

2. How to find what percent of X is Y. Use the percentage formula: Y/X = P%

Example: What percent of 60 is 12?

Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: Y/X = P%

X is 60, Y is 12, so the equation is 12/60 = P%

Do the math: 12/60 = 0.20

Important! The result will always be in decimal form, not percentage form. You need to multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.

Converting 0.20 to a percent: 0.20 * 100 = 20%

So 20% of 60 is 12.

Double check your answer with the original question: What percent of 60 is 12? 12/60 = 0.20, and multiplying by 100 to get percentage, 0.20 * 100 = 20%

3. How to find X if P percent of it is Y. Use the percentage formula Y/P% = X

Example: 25 is 20% of what number?

Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: Y/P% = X

Y is 25, P% is 20, so the equation is 25/20% = X

Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100.

Converting 20% to a decimal: 20/100 = 0.20

Substitute 0.20 for 20% in the equation: 25/0.20 = X

Do the math: 25/0.20 = X

X = 125

So 25 is 20% of 125

Double check your answer with the original question: 25 is 20% of what number? 25/0.20 = 125

Remember: How to convert a percentage to a decimal

Remove the percentage sign and divide by 100

15.6% = 15.6/100 = 0.156

Remember: How to convert a decimal to a percentage

Multiply by 100 and add a percentage sign

0.876 = 0.876 * 100 = 87.6%

There are two spinners. The first spinner has three equal sectors labeled 1, 2, and 3. The second spinner has four equal sectors
zhuklara [117]
<h3>Answer: A) 1</h3>

=========================

Explanation:

Let's label each pair of outcomes as an ordered pair (x,y)

x = first spinner outcome

y = second spinner outcome

We have these 12 different possible combos

(1,3),   (1,4),   (1,5),   (1,6)

(2,3),  (2,4),  (2,5),  (2,6)

(3,3),  (3,4),   (3,5),  (3,6)

Focus on the third column where y = 5 for each (x,y) pair. Of this column only (2,5) has x be an even number. The other results in that column have x be odd.

Basically (1,5) is the only possible outcome if we want the first spinner to lan on an even number, and the second spinner to land on 5.

Jerry King is a server in a restaurant that pays a salary of $43 per day. He also averages tips of 18% of his total gross food o
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

His total gross pay for the week is $588.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Jarry has a salary of $43 per day and he worked for 4 days.

Thus, the salary of 4 days is:

4 × $43= $172

The average tips is 18% of his total gross food orders.

Last week he had total food orders of $2,312.5. Therefore, the total tips he received is:

2312.5 \times(\frac{18}{100})

2312.5 \times(0.18)

416.25

Total tips he received is $416.25.

His total gross pay for the week = The salary of 4 days + Total tips he received.

His total gross pay for the week = $172 + $416.25

His total gross pay for the week = $588.25

Hence, his total gross pay for the week is $588.25.
