What is (2x 7) plus 5(x 3)?

Answer 1

5% x 20 = 100%

So to get your number you multiply by 20

8.6 x 20 = 172

the answer is 172

an example to solve

X / 100 = 8.6 / 5

5x = 860

5x = 860

---------------

5

x = 172

Titanium chrome: Actually this is right exept for the work,check your work correctly, you follow this formula Whole= Part/Whole.

1. Step. 5%=0.05, you move the decimal twice to the left because your dividing. 2. your equation: 8.6/0.05, 8.6 is your dividend and 0.05 goes outside your dividend.

3. You move your dividend decimal two places right because 8.6 has a decimal, plus you have to multiply just know what goes in to your dividend.

4. then you will have 860/5.

5. you wanna multiply 5 seperatly of your dividend so you know what numbers go into, which will be your final answer.

6. Five goes into 8, 1X, so you do 5X1=5, 8-5 because your remainder is 8.

which equals to 3, now you have another remainder 6 and 0 do not add zero because you add the remainder 1 by 1,so it will be 36.

7. Five goes into 36, 7X, so you do 5X7=35, 36-35=10.

8. Five goes into 10, 2X, so you do 5X2=10, 10-10=0

9. Now you your final answer is what number goes into: 1X 7X 2X you take out your multiplication because you already multiply so whats left is 172, that's your final answer 172

10. So 8.6/0.05=172
