This is a fun one. 

So let me show you an example, 

say we ask the question, 8 is what percent of 32. We can throw these into an equation that looks lime this. X/100=Y/Z, X in this case is 32 because it is the full 100% and we want to find what percent Y (8) is of it. Basically solving for Z. 

So plugging in the numbers, 

32/100=8/Z cross multiply, 800=32z in this problem we get that 8 is 25% of 32. 

That value makes sense so it must be correct. Let me know if you're still confused.

In order to find a percentage, you divide the sample by the total amount.

For example: Tess has 3 cookies out of the total amount of 9. 3/9 = 33.3%

-8=-(x+4) i need help with this problem!!

X=4

You have to distribute the negative sign for everything in the parentheses. After that you add x to the other side then add 8 to the opposite side to move them. Then your answer is 4.

Find x and y for the following problem.
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

x = 5/4

y = 7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller triangle and the larger one are similar, so the sides are proportional.

(x+5)/5 = 10/8

x/5 + 1 = 1/4 + 1 . . . . . divide it out

x/5 = 1/4 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 1

x = 5/4 . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 5

___

For y, you can do exactly the same computations, replacing every instance of 5 with a 7. Then you get ...

y = 7/4
