21 is 42% of 50. To do that, you divide 21 by 50, you get .42. You then multiply .42 by 100 to get your answer.
Given :
Initial length of electric cable needed,
.
Later, Sally is told that the homeowner has decide to cut back from a three-car garage to a two-car garage, which will eliminate two branch circuits, one of 23 feet and the other of 34 feet.
To Find :
How many feet of wire will be needed now.
Solution :
Wire needed is given by :
Required = Total wire - ( length of 1nd branch + length of 2nd branch )
Required = 550 - ( 23 + 34 )
Required = 550 - ( 57 ) ft
Required = 443 ft
Therefore, length of wire required is 443 ft.
Hence, this is the required solution.
The only numbers I could think of would be 1, 2, and 4 because 4 is greater than 3 (2+1) and four times greater than 1 (2-1)
