To find the percentage of a number, you take the percent - 5% - and change it to a decimal by moving the percent over 2 times to the left and multiplying it by the number. So...
.05 x 63
= 3.15
Answer: 5% of 63 is 3.15
Answer:
1700 books
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
- % of non-fiction books in the library as 28%
- Number of fiction books in the library as 1,224 books
We are required to determine the total number of books.
First we determine the percentage of non-fiction books
We need to know that;
% of fiction books + % of non-fiction books = 100%
Therefore;
% of non-fiction books = 100 % - 28 %
= 72%
Second we determine the total number of books
We know that;
Total number of books = 100%
But;
72% = 1,224 books
Therefore;
Total number of books = (1,224 × 100%) ÷ 72%
= 1700 books
Hence, the library has a total number of 1700 books
First you need to get two similar terms to eliminate, I'll do y:
-3x + 2y = 10
-4x - 2y= -10
And then you minus
x = 20
Now you can substitute x in to one of the equations to find y:
-60 + 2y = 10
+ 60
2y = 70
÷ 2
y = 35
So your values are y = 35 and x = 20. Hope this helps!
Answer
A: $28,000
B: 15 years
Step-by-step explanation:
A: Since $25,000 is deposited in the bank and you earn 4% interest annually over 3 years you would earn 12% interest. 12% of 25,000 is 3,000. The sum of 25,000 and 3,000 is 28,000 having you earn $28,000 over 3 years.
B: Since every year you earn 4% annual interest and you have $25,000 deposited in the bank you have to find what percentage of 25,000 equals 15,000. Since 25,000 isn't exactly easy to find multiply it by 4. That leaves you with 100,000 which we know you don't have in the bank but it will make it easier to find the percentage. You will also have to multiply 15,000 by 4 giving you 60,000. Now divide the 60,000 by 1,000 which equals 60. What's the point of the number 60? Well, that's the percentage it takes. Now divide 60 by the annual interest which is 4 and that gives you 15. 15 is the number of years it will take for the balance to reach $40,000.
Hope this helps!
