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.

Mason is driving on a long road trip. He currently has 12 gallons of gas in his car. Each hour that he drives, his car uses up 1.5 gallons of gas. How much gas would be in the tank after driving for 2 hours? How much gas would be left after tt hours?

Answers

Answer: 9

12-1.5t

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5*2=3

12-3=9

1.5*t=1.5t

If he used 3 gallons of gas. Then the amount of the gas in the tank after driving for 2 hours will be 9 gallons.

What is Algebra?

Algebra is the study of mathematical symbols, and the rule is the manipulation of those symbols.

Mason is driving on a long road trip. He currently has 12 gallons of gas in his car. Each hour that he drives, his car uses up 1.5 gallons of gas.

Then the amount of the gas in the tank after driving for 2 hours will be

The amount of gas used in 2 hours will be

Solve the following equation using the completing the square method:
x2+8x=3

Answers

Answer:

x= plus or minus square root of 19 -4

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+8x ___=3

take half of your b term (8) and then multiply by two and add or subtract it to both sides

x^2+8x+16=3+16

then combine like terms

x^2+8x+16=19

then factor your quadratic equation

(x+4)^2=19

now solve for x

take the square root of (x+4)^2 to get rid of the ^2

you then also have to square the 19 because what you do to one side you have to do to the other

(x+4)= square root of 19

subtract 4 from both sides

x= plus or minus square root of 19 -4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the coefficient of x by 2

8/2 = 4. Now find the square of 4 = 4² = 16

Add 16 to both sides of the equation

x² + 8x + 16 = 3  + 16

x² + 2* x * 4 + 4² = 19

{Compare with a² + 2ab + b² = (a + b)² }

(x + 4)² = 19

Both sides take square root,

[tex]\sqrt{(x+ 4)^{2}}=\sqrt{19}\\\\x + 4 = \sqrt{19}[/tex]

x + 4 = ± 4.36

x + 4 = 4.36   ; x +  4 = -4.36

x = 4.36 -4     ;    x  = -4.36 - 4

x = 0.36         ; x = - 8.36

Answer:

Median. Explanation to each part below.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Starting with calculating the mean, which is all the values added divided by the number of values (in this case he has 6 scores total).

[tex]mean/average=\frac{81+87+93+89+61+81}{6} =\frac{492}{6} = 82[/tex]

b) To find the median, arrange all the test scores in increasing order and find the middle/median value. We have 6 scores, so we will have 2 middle scores. If we had 7 scores, we would find only 1 score in the middle which would be the median. We will have to find the average of the two scores.

[tex]61,81,81,87,89,93[/tex]

The middle values will be 81 and 87 so find the average of those 2 scores.

[tex]Median: \frac{81+87}{2} =\frac{168}{2} =84[/tex]

c) The mode is the score which occurs the most. In this case, Jack has 2 scores that are 81, which is his mode.

d) The measure that would make his performance sound good would be the median. The mode and mean are below the score of 84 that he gets for the median. He would want to flaunt this measure to show he performs well.

Write an equation in slope intercept form that contains the points (-6,3) and
(-2,1)..

Answers

Answer:

y= (-1/2)x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a line in the slope intercept form is y= mx+b, where

m = the slope, and b = y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis)

for points (x1 = -6, y1 = 3) and (x2 = -2, y2 = 1)

m= (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1) = (1 - 3)/ (-2 - -6) = -2 / 4 = -1/2

the equation is now y= (-1/2)x+b

substitute the x and y coordinates of any of the points in the equation

for point (-2, 1) we will have  1 = (-1/2)(-2)+b, so b=1

The equation in slope intercept form that contains the points (-6,3) and

(-2,1) is y = (-1/2)x+1

Least to greatest 3%,00.8,2/50

Answers

Answer:

3% , 2/50 , 0.08

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe the easiest way to go about this is to convert all the numbers t0o decimals!

0.08 is already given, so we just need to figure out what 3% and 2/50 are in decimal form.

When converting percents to decimals, a good rule of thumb to remember is to divide the percent by 100.

3 ÷ 100 = 0.03

For fractions, simply divide the numerator by the denominator:

2 ÷ 50 = 0.04

Now we just order the numbers based on their value...

0.03, 0.04, 0.08

So the final answer should be:

3% , 2/50 , 0.08

a boat traveled 14 miles per hour downstream. the trip upstream was at a speed of 10 miles per hour. what is the speed of the boat in still water? what is the speed of the current

Answers

Answer:

(im not sure what the first question is asking me)

Speed of the current is 2 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason the current is 2 miles per hour is because it when going down stream they were going 14 miles per hour, going upstream they went 10. The difference is 4mph. So if the current pushes you 2mph when going down stream and holds you 2 mph when going up, the constant speed is 12mph then you add and subtract 2 becuase of the two directions youre traveling. hence 10mph and 14mph.

y = (x − 4)2 − 4
y = (x + 4)2 − 4
y = (x + 2)2 + 6
y = (x + 2)2 + 12

Answers

Answer:

Hi there!

The vertex form equation is y=a(x-d)^2+c where the vertex is (d, c).

The vertex is always the turning point when the y-values start to travel in the opposite direction from which they began traveling on the opposite side of the turning point. Therefore the point (4, -4) is the vertex.  

y=a(x-4)^2-4

We can sub in a point on the graph in order to solve for the a-value. Let's use (6, 0), and sub that in for x and y.

0=a(6-4)^2-4

0=a(2)^2-4

4=4a

a=4/4

a=1

Therefore the equation is y=(x-4)^2-4

Hope this helps!

When you're asked to plot a point on a coordinate plane just remember that the coordinate given is of the form [tex](x,y)[/tex].

So, first, we need to plot 11 on the [tex]x[/tex]-axis (the line going left to right, horizontal) then plot 7 on the [tex]y[/tex]-axis (the vertical line)

So we first go 11 units to the right along the [tex]x[/tex]-axis then go up 7 units along the [tex]y[/tex]-axis.
