What is 30 percent of 60

Mathematics
1 answer:
Naily [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: 18

Step-by-step explanation: Well <u><em>percent</em></u> means <em>over 100</em> so we can set up an equation for this problem by reading it from left to right.

<em>What</em> means <em>x</em>, <em>is</em> means <em>equals</em>, <em>30%</em> is <em>30/100</em>, <em>of</em> means <em>times</em> <em>250</em>.

Simplifying on the right side of the equation,

notice that 30/100 reduces to 3/10.

So we have x = 3/10 · 60. Think of the 60 as 60/1 so we can cross-cancel the 60 and 10 to 6 and 1 and we have x = \frac{(3)(6)}{(1)(1)} or <em>x = 18</em>.

Now let's check our answer back in the original problem to see if it makes sense. We have <em>18 is 30% of 60</em>.

Well we know that 100% of 60 would be 60 so 30% of 60 should be alot less than 60 so 18 seems to make sense as a pretty good answer.

Anita purchased a couch that was priced at $700. She will also have to pay 6% sales tax. How much will she pay in total for the
Zolol [24]

Answer:

$742

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you need to figure out what 6% of 700 dollars is and then add that to 700. The easiest way to find the percentage of a number is to set it up in the equation:

6/100 = x/700  where 6 is the percentage of 700 (out of 100 because you can only get up to 100 percent in this case) and x is 6 percent of 700. when you cross multiply, you get 100x = 4200. Then you divide both sides by 100 to get x by itself. This will give you x = 42 Add this to 700 for 742 as the total amount that will be paid. Sorry if this first half was a little confusing

to make an apple pie, mimi needs 2 cups of flour and 3 cups of apples. how many cups of ingredients does mimi need to make 5 pie
Lady_Fox [76]
For one apple pie, Mimi needs 2 cups of flour and 3 cups of apples, which is 5 cups in all, in order to produce how many cups she would need to make five pies you simply times the number given, number of cups, by 5. So you times 2 by 5, which is 10 and 3 by 5, which is 15 and together that makes 25 cups, 10 cups of flour and 15 cups of apples. If you had three cups of flour and needed to make 20 pies, all you would do is times three by 20, which is 60. 

Hope I explained this correctly, if you need any more help, please ask.
