30 / 500 = x / 900....$ 30 tax / 500 item = $ x tax on 900 item
cross multiply
(500)(x) = (900)(30)
500x = 27000
x = 27000/500
x = 54 <===
To convert from a fraction to a percent,
You just need to divide the fractions then multiply the product by 100.
Examples:
1. What is 3/4 in percent?
a. 3/4 = 0.75 x 100 = 75%
b. 45/98 = 0.46 x 100 = 46&
c. 60/100 = 0.6 x 100 = 60%
d. 1/5 = 0.2 x 100 = 20&
e. 6/99 = 0.06 x 100 = 6%
The two given angles are vertical angles which mean they are the same:
9x + 72 = 4x + 112
Subtract 72 from bot sides:
9x = 4x + 40
Subtract 4x from both sides:
5x = 40
Divide both sides by 5:
X = 8
