Answer:
67%
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a few methods to finding the percent of a number. You can use proportions:
The 'percent' is the percent of the fraction that you are looking for, or 48/72.
Cross-multiply: 72x = (48)(100) or 72x = 4800
Divide both sides by 72: 72x/72 = 4800/72
Solve for 'x': x = 66.6666...
Round 66.666.... to the nearest percent: 67%
No its not because its a repeating decimal for a number to be a irrational number it has to be non terminating or non repeating
Answer:
-20
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you divide both sides by -2/5, which would get you c = 8 * -5/2 (Because when you divide, you multiply by the reciprocal). 8 * -5/2 is equal to -20. The answer is -20.
x/.75=x-56/0.4
0.4x=.75x-42
-0.35x=-42
x=120
I set up a proportion in which x=the tank when it is 3/4 full. When the tank is 3/4 full, solving the proportion tells us the x=120 litres. 120/3=40, and 120+40 is 160, showing that a tank completely full would indeed hold 160 litres.
Hope this helps!
