Cent is by the hundred so one percent is 1/100 so .6%=6/1000
which can be reduced to 3/500
35 = 45 - n
think of it as money
45 dollars take away how many (n) = 35 dollars
45 - n =35
or you can subtract 45 from both sides
-n = 35-45
-n = -10
divide by -1 from both sides
n = 10
5 = what percent of 23
5 = x% of 23
5 = (x/100)*23
5 = 23x/100
5*100 = 23x
23x = 5*100
x = 5*100/23
x = 21.739
5 is ≈ 21.739% of 23
Answer: A cardboard box without a lid is to have a volume of 32,000 cubic cm. Find the dimensions that minimize the amount of cardboard used
. ans: base 40 x 40, height = 20
Solution:
The typical box might look like the one below
where . In addition we have xyz = 32000 ,so we need to minimize .
We have,
From the geometry of the problem so y = x. So or x = 40.
Finally, y = x = 40 and z = 32000/(xy)=20.
