Answer:
348 out of 725
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a ratio question, giving us a sample that we can use to extend the number to all students.
12/25 students play a sport so we want the value of x in x/725
So:
12/25 = x/725
Cross-Multiply:
25x = 8700
Divide by 25 to get x:
348
You can also check by dividing these ratios to see if you get the same number. In this case, you do (.48).
Answer:
1) 25%
2) 555.56
3) 10%
4) 700
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 35 is what percent of 140
This is calculated as:
35/140 × 100
= 25%
2) 250 is 45% of what number?
Let the number be represented as x
This is calculated as:
45% of x = 250
45/100 × x = 250
45x /100 = 250
Cross Multiply
45x = 250 × 100
x = 25000/45
x = 555.55555556
x = 555.56
3) 74 is what percent of 740?
Let the percentage be represented by x
x% × 740 = 74
Divide both side by 740
x% = 74/740
x% = 0.1
Converting to percentage
0.1 × 100 = 10%
4) 350 is 50% of what number?
Let the number the represented by x
This is calculated as:
50% of x = 350
50/100 × x = 350
50x /100 = 350
Cross Multiply
50x = 350 × 100
x = 35000/50
x = 700
x = 555.56
A number b increased by 3 is greater than or equal to -26:
