If you translate this problem literally, it is saying, “72 is what percent of 288?”. And the equational translation of that is 72 = (x/100) • 288
[ “is” means equal to (=) // “what” means x or another variable // “percent” means divided by 100” // “of” means multiplication. ]
Then you solve that equation.
(you can check it by googling what is 25% of 288. )

Maranda praticed a total of 52 hours in 4 weeks to prepare for a piano recital. If she practiced the same number of hours each w
RUDIKE [14]

The number of practice hours per week for Maranda's piano recital is 13 hours

Overall practice hours = 52 hours

Number of weeks of practice = 4 weeks

Since, the number of practice hours per week is the same ;

Number of hours practiced each week can be obtained by dividing the overall practice hours by the number of weeks of practice.

Number of practice hours per week = Overall practice hours ÷ Number of weeks of practice

Number of practice hours = (52 ÷ 4) = 13 hours

Therefore, Marana practiced for 13 hours each week.

Easton wants to put a variety of donuts in a display case. The case is large enough to hold 100 donuts. Complete the table below
shutvik [7]

The amounts for each donut are given as follows:

  • Strawberry: 15.
  • Chocolate: 45.
  • Sprinkle: 40.

<h3>How to obtain the amounts?</h3>

The amounts for each donut are found applying the proportion, multiplying the decimal equivalent of each percentage by the total number of donuts.

From the problem, the total number of donuts is given as follows:

100 donuts.

The percentages of each type of donuts are given as follows:

  • Strawberry: 15%.
  • Chocolate: 45%.
  • Sprinkle: 40%.

The decimal equivalent of each percentage is given as follows:

  • Strawberry: 0.15.
  • Chocolate: 0.45.
  • Sprinkle: 0.4.

Hence the amounts are given as follows:

  • Strawberry: 15, as 0.15 x 100 = 15.
  • Chocolate: 45, as 0.45 x 100 = 45.
  • Sprinkle: 40, as 0.4 x 100 = 40.

The sign is a circle

Area of a circle is (pi)r^2

d = 30 in -> r = d/2  = 30/2 = 15

Area = 3.14 x (15)^2 = 706.5m^2

Which of these is a point-slope equation of the line that is perpendicular to y-25=2(x-10) and passes through (-3,7)
OLEGan [10]
Y = 2x +13

We know the slope to be 2 because lines that are parallel have the same slope. Then we can solve using slope-intercept form and  the known point. 

y = mx + b ----> Input known values
7 = (2)(-3) + b ---> Multiple
7 = -6 + b ----> Subtract 3 from both sides
13 = b

Now we can use the y-intercept found and the slope to write the equation above.
