Answer :
x = 53.85

Step by step explanation:
If 78% of x (some numbers) is equal to 42, then we must set this as an equation to find it.

1) Rewriting 78% as a fraction and considering that when we say 78% of some number (x) we mean a product.
78% = 78/100 ➡️ 78/100x = 42

2) Then we can go on :
100 * 78/100x = 42 * 100
78x = 4200
78x/78 = 4200/78 ➡️ x = 53.85

3) Alternatively, simply dividing 42 by 0.78 (78%) would come to the same result :

42/0.78 = 53.85

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 42 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 42 is 100%, so we can write it down as 42=100%.
4. We know, that x is 78% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=78%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 42=100%
2) x=78%
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:
42/x=100%/78%
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 78% of 42

42/x=100/78
(42/x)*x=(100/78)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
42=1.28205128205*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.28205128205) to get x
42/1.28205128205=x
32.76=x
x=32.76

Find the distance between each pair of points.If necessary round to the nearest tenth
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

22) J(2,-1); K(2,5)

Distance = √(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²

                = √( 2- 2)² + (5 - [-1] )²

                = √0 + (5  + 1 )²

                =√ ( 6 )²   = 6

25) A(0,3) ; B (0,12)

distance =√(0-0)² + (12 - 3 )²

              =√( 9)²  = 9

28) Q(12,-12) ; T(5,12)

distance = √(5 - 12)² + (12 - [-12] )²

              = √( -7)² + (12 + 12] )²

              = √ 49 + (24)²

              = √ 49 + 576

               = √625

                 =25

Nimfa-mama [501]
If a customer ordered 5 items and the order had a total of 17 wheels, we are to determine the number of wagons that was ordered. A wagon has four wheels, therefore, 17 divided by 4 wheels is equal to 4 r. 1. So, 4 wagons were ordered and one extra wheel to complete the 17 wheels and 5 orders.
