Given:

A number 72.

To Find:

12% of 72.

Solution:

The given problem can be solved using the concepts of percentages and their applications.

1. The given number is 72.

2. x% of a number n is given by the formula,

=> x% of n = ,

3. x% of a number can also be defined as x parts of 100 multiplied by the given number.

4. 12% of 72 can be calculated using the above number,

=> 12% of 72 =

=> 0.12 x 72,

=> 864/100,

=> 8.64.

Therefore, 12% of 72 is 8.64

Answer: 7/24

Step-by-step explanation:

11/8 - 5/8=

= 11/8 - 5/8

= 11/12 + -5/8

= 22/24 + -15/24

= 22 + -15/<u>/24</u>

= 7/24

decimal form = 0.291667.

in a proportional relationship the ratio y/x is constant. Show that this ratio is not constant for the equation y=a-14

Colt1911 [192]

To show that the ratio $\frac{y}{x}$ is not constant for the function $y=a-14$ we only need to evaluate this function at 2 points and then show that the ratio is not the same for those two points. Note that here $a$ represents $x$ .

To find the counter examples here, I will use the values $a=20$ and $a=28$ . For $a = 20$ , the equation tells us that the output is

$y=20-14=6$ . For this value of $a$ the point is point is $(20,6)$ . The ratio $\frac{y}{x} =\frac{6}{20}$ . For the $a=28$ , $y=28-14=14$ . For this value of $a$ the point is $(28,14)$ . The ratio $\frac{y}{x} =\frac{14}{28} =\frac{1}{2}$ . Clearly this ratio is not constant for all ordered pairs.
