Answer:
as written: 2500.2
as intended: 3000
Step-by-step explanation:
20% = 0.2, so adding 0.2 to 2500 gives 2500.2
_____
We suspect you want to add 20% of 2500 to 2500. That is ...
2500 + 20%×2500
= 2500 + 0.20×2500
= 2500 + 500
= 3000

<em>Comment on percentages</em>
A percentage is a pure number. It is a ratio of like quantities, so has no units.* A <em>useful</em> percentage always has a base. That is, it is a percentage <em>of something</em>. Sometimes that base may be unclear or unstated, in which case the percentage might very well be considered to be meaningless.
In any event, a percentage is simply a (unitless) fraction. The "%" symbol means the same thing as "/100", so 20% means 20/100 = 2/10 = 1/5.
The very clear math expression 2500 +20% means simply 2500 + 1/5, which is the mixed number 2500 1/5 or the decimal value 2500.2. Usually, when we want to add a percentage to some value, we want the percentage to be <em>of the original value</em>. When that is written as a math expression, it must show this:
2500 + 20% of 2500
2500 + 20%×2500
2500(1 +20%)
_____
* The concentration or potency of some medicines or other mixtures may be expressed as a percentage that is the ratio of one unit to a different unit, typically weight per volume. That is, a "0.1%" preparation may be 0.1 grams per 100 mL, for example. You have to read the label to determine whether this is the case. Mathematically, this is not a percentage, but is a non-standard use of the "%" symbol to indicate a ratio to 100 of something.
In a 45-45-90 triangle, both of the legs have the same length and the ratio of one leg to the hypotenuse is 1:sqrt(2).
Answer:
The given statement is false.
Step-by-step explanation:
Circle graphs, or pie graphs, show information over a period of time.
This statement is false.
A circle graph, or a pie chart, helps in visualizing information and data. These graphs are used to show the results in a proportional manner.
The circle graph is divided in proportions that show the percentage of a certain answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You have 52 cards in a deck and 13 cards of each suit.
The probability of picking a diamond in a complete deck of cards is:
Or the probability is 13 put of 52.
Since you took out 1 diamond card already there would be only 51 cards left and 12 diamond cards left. So you would have a probability of:
If we simplify it you will have a probability of:
Total 175 students.
102 students go to movies at least twice a week and 73 students either go 1 times or not going to the movies.
So
Students go 0-1 times per week = 73/175 = 0.4172 = 41.71%
Answer: last option
41.71%
