Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>
<u>Substitute and solve for n:</u>
- 42 = n² + n
- n² + 2*1/2n + 1/4 = 42.25
- (n + 0.5)² = 42.25
- n + 0.5 = √42.25
- n + 0.5 = 6.5
- n = 6
Correct option is C
There are 2,500,000 pennies in $25,000
1. We assume, that the number 118 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
<span>2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for. </span>
<span>3. If 118 is 100%, so we can write it down as 118=100%. </span>
<span>4. We know, that x is 47% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=47%. </span>
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 118=100%
2) x=47%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
118/x=100%/47%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for what is 47% of 118
118/x=100/47
<span>(118/x)*x=(100/47)*x - </span>we multiply both sides of the equation by x
<span>118=2.12765957447*x - </span>we divide both sides of the equation by (2.12765957447) to get x
<span>118/2.12765957447=x </span>
<span>55.46=x </span>
x=55.46
<span>now we have: </span>
<span>47% of 118=55.46</span>
