How do you find percentages?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

obtained number divided by total number multiply by 100%.

Answer 2

· Definition of Percentages

Mathematically, percentages are either numbers or ratios that are expressed as fractions of 100. They are usually denoted as "%" or simply "percent." They may be further represented as simple fractions or as decimal fractions. An example of a percentage is 65% or 65 percent.  The term percentage was formed from two words, “per” and “cent.” Cent is a word with Latin and French origin that means "hundred," and "percent" means "per hundred." For example, 90 percent (or 90%) means 90 out of 100 while 50 percent (or 50%) means 50 out of 100 or half of a whole.

1. Determine the initial format of the number to be converted to a percentage

The number to be converted to a percentage can either be in the decimal or fraction format. A good example of a decimal number is 0.57, which may be the calculated ratio of the values you are comparing, while an example of a fraction is 3/20. The initial format will determine the next mathematical process to be carried out on the number.

2. Carry out a mathematical process on the number to be converted to a percentage

If the number to be converted to a percentage is a decimal number like 0.57, you may not need to do anything to it before you go to the next step. However, if it is a fraction like 3/20, you should first divide the numerator (3 in this case) by the denominator (20 in this case) to get a decimal number.

3. Multiply the result of the mathematical process by 100

If you are required to convert a decimal number like 0.57 to a percentage, you are to simply multiply it by 100. That is, 0.57 x 100 = 57. Therefore, 0.57 as a percentage = 57% or 57 percent. Another example of converting a decimal to a percentage is 0.03 x 100 = 3% or 3 percent.

However, if you are required to convert 3/20 to a percentage, you should divide 3 by 20 = 0.15. Then multiply 0.15 by 100 = 15% or 15 percent.

Another example is if you are to convert 5/10 to a percentage, you should divide 5 by 10 = 0.5. Then, multiply 0.5 by 100. Therefore, 0.5 x 100 = 50% or 50 percent.

Quinn and Logan solved the equation 8(x-5)=8x+40. Quinn said the answer is x=0, Logan said the answer has infinitely many solutions. Who is right? Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer:

Neither of them are right

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's actually solve this equation:

8 ( x - 5 ) = 8x + 40

Distribute on the left:

8 ( x - 5 )

( 8 x X ) + ( 8 x ( -5 ) )

8x - 40

8x - 40 = 8x + 40

Add 40 to each side:

8x = 8x + 80

Subtract 8x from both sides:

0 = 80

0 ≠ 80

There are no solutions to the equation

At the garage sale, each book is priced the same. You purchased 3 fiction books, 5 picture books, 2 non fiction books.and 4 puzzel books. write an expression in simplest form that represents the total amount of money the order will cost

Answers

14x = the total cost of the order


explanation:
since every book is priced the same, you can add them together to get 14. x = the cost of one book, but since we don’t know the cost of one book, we use the variable x. so, 14x is equal to the total cost of the order. hope this helped!

A bicycle has a speed of 6 m/s. What is its speed in km/h?
(1 km=1000 m)
(1 h = 3600 s)

Answers

answer:

m/s --- km/h = [tex]\frac{1000}{3600}[/tex]

km/h= [tex]\frac{5}{18}[/tex]

6m/s= [tex]\frac{6*5}{18}[/tex]

6m/s= 1.66 km/h

The speed of the bicycle in km/h is 21.6 km/h.

Given that;

A bicycle has a speed of 6 m/s.

Since we know that;

1 km = 1000 m

And, 1 hour = 3600 s

Hence change the speed of the bicycle in km/h as;

[tex]Speed = 6 m/s[/tex]

It can be equal to;

[tex]Speed = \dfrac{6 \times \dfrac{1}{1000} km }{\dfrac{1}{3600} seconds }[/tex]

[tex]Speed = 21.6 km/s[/tex]

Therefore, the speed of the bicycle in km/h is 21.6 km/h.

Jenny & Natasha are working on a problem together: Solve x/3 + 8 = −2. Natasha thinks the first step is to multiply by 3. Jenny explains that this is not the most efficient way to solve. Explain who is correct & justify your reasoning.

Answers

The individual that is correct is Natasha. This is because the answer can be gotten using Natasha's method

The given equation is  [tex]\frac{x}{3} + 8 = -2[/tex]

Solving the equation using Natasha's method

the fist step is to multiply by 2

x + 24 = - 6

The second step is to combine  and add similar terms

x = -24 - 6

x = -30

Second method of solving the equation

The equation the friends are trying to solve is [tex]\frac{x}{3} + 8 = -2[/tex]

The first step is to combine similar terms

[tex]\frac{x}{3}[/tex] = - 8 - 2

The second step is to add similar terms together

[tex]\frac{x}{3}[/tex] = - 10

The third step is to multiply both sides of the equation by 3

x = (-10 x 3)

x = -30

The Mad Hatter is ordering cups from Teacups

Limited, for his tea party. The Tescups, Limited catalog

prices cups according to the number of cups ardered. For

orders of 20 or fewer cups, the price is $1.40 per cup plus

$12 shipping and handling on the order. For orders of

more than 20 cups, the price is $1.10 per cup plus $15

shipping and handling

a) Create a piece wise function to describe the

price of cups

b) How much will it cost the Mad Hatter if he orders

20 cups?

Answers

a) The piecewise function is:

[tex]C(n) = 12 + 1.40n, n \leq 20[/tex]

[tex]C(n) = 15 + 1.1n, n > 20[/tex]

b) Applying the piecewise function, it is found that it will cost $40.

A piecewise function is a function that has different definitions based on the input.

Item a:

20 or fewer cups, fixed cost of $12 for shipping plus $1.40 per cup. Thus, the first definition of the function for the cost of n cups is:

[tex]C(n) = 12 + 1.40n, n \leq 20[/tex]

For more than 20 cups, price of $1.1 per cup plus a shipping and handling fee of $15. Then:

[tex]C(n) = 15 + 1.1n, n > 20[/tex]

Then, the piece-wise function is:

[tex]C(n) = 12 + 1.40n, n \leq 20[/tex]

[tex]C(n) = 15 + 1.1n, n > 20[/tex]

Item b:

The cost of 20 cups is C(20).It is the first definition, which is valid for [tex]n \leq 20[/tex].

Then:

[tex]C(20) = 12 + 1.4(20) = 12 + 28 = 40[/tex]

It will cost $40.
