Is x% of y is always the same as y% of x​

Mathematics
1 answer:
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, “ % ” means percent, which, as it name says, is the amount of the number per 100 .

Take 5% for instance, 5 percent would mean 5/100

Likewise, x%=x/100

Now x% of y means x/100×y=xy/100

but also, y% of x means y/100×x=yx/100

and therefore these two are the same!

Katie has read 32% of a book. If she has read 80 pages, how many more pages does Katie have left to read? Please explain
yawa3891 [41]
Keep note of these things before we start:
-Of is a keyword that tells us multiplication is being done
-x = total number of pages
-32% = 32/100 = .32

Okay, here we go:
32% of total number of pages = 80
.32 of x = 80
.32*x = 80
.32x = 80
.32x/.32 = 80/.32
x = 250

There are 250 pages in total in Katie's book.
To find out how many pages she has to read (y), subtract the pages read from the total:
TOTAL - PAGES READ = PAGES LEFT TO READ
250 - 80 = y
170 = y

Katie has 170 pages left to read
Hope this helps!
