  <span>To take a percentage of a number out, simply do the follow: 
Number x Percentage = Answer. 

Therefore: 
14,500x(90/100)=13,050 

To find what percentage a figure represents of a total, do the following simple equation: 
Figure/Total x100 = Percentage. 

So for your Earthquakes, you have a total of: 
Total = 90 + 20 + 5 + 1 = 116 Earthquakes. 

4 to 5 -> 90/116 x100 = 78% to 2 sig. fig. 
5 to 6 -> 20/116 x100 = 17% 
6 to 7 -> 5/116 x100 = 4% 
7+ -> 1/116 x100 = 1% 


</span>The same technique is used everywhere else, sample size divided by total multiplied by 100 gives percentage. Not multiplying by 100 gives you a ratio of 1 that it represents, 1 being 100% (a complete unit). 
<span>Therefore for part 1. of your question I would just do 14,500x0.9=13,050. </span>
<span>You'll probably see that 90/100 = 0.9 since 90% is identical to writing 90/100 or 0.9.</span>

Bromine, a liquid at room temperature, has a boiling point
lukranit [14]

Yes it does !  The so-called "boiling point" is the temperature at which Bromine liquid can change state and become Bromine vapor, if enough additional thermal energy is provided.  The boiling point is higher than room temperature.

They have the same velocity because their displacements (shortest line from point A to point B, which is a straight line) are the same and they meet at the same time.
