To find what the number is, we need to set up proportional fractions.
Currently, we have 8% of a number is 20.
To set up our fractions, put 100% under 8% as a fraction first.
It should look like this: 8/100 (hint: per-cent means per-hundred).
Now, we have 20 out of a number, x. This is because we are claiming that 20 is 8% of a number (if we just reword the question without changing the concept).
It should look like this: 20/x.
Our proportional fractions are:
20/x = 8/100.
To solve for this, we need to cross-multiply the denominator of 8/100 (bottom number, 100) with the numerator of 20/x (top number, 20).
This product equation should look like this:
20 x 100 (when simplified, we get 2000).
Now, we need to cross multiply the numerator of 8/100 (top number, 8) with the denominator of 20/x (bottom number, x).
This product equation should look like this:
8x.
Now that we've cross-multiplied, set our two products as an equation.
8x = 2000.
To solve for x, divide both sides by 8 (remember, what you do to one side of an equation, you must do it to the other).
8x / 8 = x
2000 / 8 = 250.
x = 250
Your final answer is:
8% of 250 is 20.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
=51.63 m^2
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the area of the triangle
A = 1/2 bh = 1/2(3) * 5 = 7.5
Then find the area of the rectangle
A = l*w = 5*6 = 30
Then find the area of the semi circle, which is 1/2 the area of the circle
The diameter is 6 so the radius is 3
A = 1/2 pi r^2 = 1/2 (3.14) (3) ^2 = 14.13
Add the areas together for the total area
7.5+30+14.13
=51.63
Algebra 1 just really teaches you the basics of algrebra
O would be the answer, but I’m not sure why you have 3
(360.00 to be exact)
