Answer:

A. 1.2x = 78

B. x = 65

Step-by-step explanation:

Just informally, first:

x is the number that we don't know. 120% of that number is a number BIGGER than that number. 120% of x is 78. So 78 is BIGGER than the number that we don't know.

120% of x = 78

Change 120% to a decimal by moving the decimal two places to the left. Multiply.

1.2x = 78

To solve, divide both sides by 1.2

x = 78/1.2

x = 65

A dartboard has a diameter of 18 inches.What are its radius and circumference?
allsm [11]
Diameter of the dartboard as given in the question = 18 inches
Then
Radius of the dartboard will be = 18/2 inches
                                                  = 9 inches
We already know that
Circumference of a circle = <span>2π</span>r
We also know that the value of <span>π = 3.14159
Then
Circumference of the dartboard = 2 * 3.14159 * 9 inches
                                                    = 56.548 inches
                                                    = 56.55 inches
So the radius of the dartboard is 9 inches and the circumference of the dartboard is 56.55 inches. I hope the procedure is absolutely clear to you.

75 peanuts      x peanuts

Using cross products

5x = 75*8

5x = 600

Divide each side by 5

5x/5 = 600/5

x = 120
