To find what the number is, we need to set up proportional fractions.
Currently, we have 8% of a number is 20.
To set up our fractions, put 100% under 8% as a fraction first.
It should look like this: 8/100 (hint: per-cent means per-hundred).
Now, we have 20 out of a number, x. This is because we are claiming that 20 is 8% of a number (if we just reword the question without changing the concept).
It should look like this: 20/x.
Our proportional fractions are:
20/x = 8/100.
To solve for this, we need to cross-multiply the denominator of 8/100 (bottom number, 100) with the numerator of 20/x (top number, 20).
This product equation should look like this:
20 x 100 (when simplified, we get 2000).
Now, we need to cross multiply the numerator of 8/100 (top number, 8) with the denominator of 20/x (bottom number, x).
This product equation should look like this:
8x.
Now that we've cross-multiplied, set our two products as an equation.
8x = 2000.
To solve for x, divide both sides by 8 (remember, what you do to one side of an equation, you must do it to the other).
8x / 8 = x
2000 / 8 = 250.
x = 250
Your final answer is:
8% of 250 is 20.
I hope this helps!
Assume that the radius of the circle is 1.
The diagonal of the square is 2. By the Pythagorean Theorem, the side of the square of a right triangle will be 2/sqrt(2).
Finally, the ratio of the square to the circle, in area, will be
(2/sqrt(2))^2 : pi*(1)^2 = 2 : pi
We can conclude that the white area is about 35%.
Given:
Length of rectangle = (x+10) cm
Width of the rectangle = x cm
Perimeter = 32 cm
To find:
The length of the rectangle.
Solution:
We know that,
Where, l is length and w is width.
Substituting the values, we get
Subtract 20 from both sides.
Divide both sides by
So, the length is
Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 13 cm.
Answer:
After 13 months the amount paid to both will be $830.
Step-by-step explanation:
60x13+50=830
50x13+180=830
