Answer:

29.89%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: We assume that 435 is 100% since it is our output value.  

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$.  

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=435$.  

Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=130$.  

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:  

100\%=435(1)\\\\x\%=130(2)  

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS  (left-hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have  

$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{435}{130}$  

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields  

\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{130}{435}\\\\\Rightarrow x=29.89\%  

Therefore, $130$ is $29.89\%$ of $435$.

write an expression that represents the number of square feet of wallpaper you will need if the height of the family room is x f
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
<h3>Given</h3>
  • room height is x feet
  • room length is 3x feet
  • room width is 3x feet
  • a door 3 ft wide by 7 ft tall
<h3>Find</h3>
  • The net area of the wall, excluding the door
<h3>Solution</h3>

The area of the wall, including the door, is the room perimeter multiplied by the height of the room. The room perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the four walls.

... gross wall area = (3x +3x +3x +3x)·x = 12x²

The area of the door is the product of its height and width.

... door area = (7 t)×(3 ft) = 21 ft²

Then the net wall area, exclusive of the door is ...

... net wall area = gross wall area - door area

... net wall area = 12x² -21 . . . . square feet
