Fractions,rats, and percents all interconnect. For ext,50%=11/2 =1:2
Answer:
I found two different solutions. Hope one of them help!
1. x = -1/3 = -0.333
2. x = 5/2 = 2.500
Step-by-step explanation:
13 ± √ 289
x = ——————
12
Can √ 289 be simplified ?
Yes! The prime factorization of 289 is
17•17
To be able to remove something from under the radical, there have to be 2 instances of it (because we are taking a square i.e. second root).
√ 289 = √ 17•17 =
± 17 • √ 1 =
± 17
So now we are looking at:
x = ( 13 ± 17) / 12
Two real solutions:
x =(13+√289)/12=(13+17)/12= 2.500
or
x =(13-√289)/12=(13-17)/12= -0.333
Two solutions were found :
x = -1/3 = -0.333
x = 5/2 = 2.500
To find a percent, you use this simple formula:
5000/62000 = x/100
In this case, x is going to be your percent of commission.
So, to find this, you first divide 5000 by 62000, which is about equal to 0.08.
Now your equation looks like this:
0.08 = x/100
Next, you multiply both sides by 100 to reverse the operation. Now, your equation will look like this:
8 = x
So, the answer is 8%.
