What is 2% of 500 help

2 answers:

7 0

ANSWER:
2% of 500 is 10.
EXPLANATION:
Assume that the number 500 is 100%- because it’s the output.
Assume that X is the value we are looking for.
If 500 is 100% we write this as 500 = 100%
We know that x is 2% so we write this as x= 2%

Now we have two simple equations:
1) 500=100%
2) x=2%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
500/x=100%/2%
Now, we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

Solution for what is 2% of 500

500/x=100/2
(500/x)*x=(100/2)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
500=50*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (50) to get x
500/50=x
10=x
x=10

If there is 4 apple trees for every three pear trees but for every 2 avocado trees there is 5 pear trees she is planning to plan

olasank [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to think of it as an equation system.

First of all, let's call A the apple trees, P the pear trees and V the avocado's trees.

As for every 3 pear trees we have 4 apple trees, it can be written as:

4A = 3P

Then, we can clear the pears dividing both sides by 3:

4A/3 = 3P/3

(4/3)A = P

This is, we have one pear tree for every 4/3 apple trees.

Then we go to the other relation. For every 5 pears trees there are two avocados trees:

2V = 5P

As we want the ratio of avocados to apples we can replace the pear trees by it's expression depending on A:

2V = 5 ((4/3)A)

2V = (20/3) A

Multiplying both sides by 9 we make appear our 18 avocados trees:

2V *9 =( 20/3) A * 9

18 V = 60 A

So, for 18 avocados trees we have 60 apple trees.

If f(x) = 9^x , them prove that : f(m+n+p) = f(m) × f(n) × f(p) .

blondinia [14]

Answer:

f(m+n+p) = 9^(m+n+p)

while f(m) × f(n) × f(p) = 9^m+9^n+9^p = 9^(m+n+p)

so the second property explains why it's a + instead of ×
