How do you find a percent of a number if you know another percent?
To find out the percent of a number if you know another percent you do. . . the method of Cross-Mutltiplying and Dividing, for example let's say I got 23/25 on a math test and I want to know my percentage so X/100, your equation should look something like 23/25 = x/100. now that you got your equation let's do the math. Do 23 x 100 (23 multiplied by 100) then you get an answer of 2300. You would then divide 2300 by 25 and get your answer of 92%. That's basically why this method is called cross multiplying and dividing.
In what proportion should 95 percent percent alcohol be mised with 30 percent percent alcohol to make 70 percent percent?
x = volume of 95% y = volume of 30% so (x+y) is volume of 70% 0.95 x + 0.30 y = 0.70(x+y) 0.95 x + 0.30 y = 0.70x + 0.70y 0.25x = 0.40y x/y = 0.40/0.25 = 8/5 for every 8 volumes of 95% mix in 5 volumes of 30%the volumes can be ml, liters, cups, pints etc.
What is Is over of equals percent over 100 called?
It is called the percent proportion. It is set up as a proportion and can answer any questions dealing with finding the percent of a number, or the number for the percent. For example: What is 16% of 35? You are looking for "is." The percent is given to you and the "of" is given to you. You should set up the proportion like this: is = % of 100 x = 16 35 100 Cross multiply. You now have: 100x = 560 You have to get x by itself, so you divide both sides by 100. 100x = 560 100 100 x= 5.6
How do you find 15 percent of 15?
The best way is to create a proportion. x out of 15 is equal to 15 out of 100. Do 100 divided by 15 which is about 6.67. Then do 15/6.67. You should get x=2.25. Then do 2.25/15 to check you're work and you should get 15 percent.
Why 40 percent percent percent of the people should take electronics?
There is no reason why 6.4% (which is what 40%%% is) should take electronics. It is a lot more than is currently the case so many of them would probably not be much good at the subject. Furthermore, few economies would be able to support that proportion of people who have taken electronics.
How do you find the answer to 50 percent of 70?
To do this problem, you set up a proportion: 50 percent of 100 is equal to what (x) percent of 70? It should look like this: 50/100 = x/70 To solve this problem, divide 50 by 100: .5 = x/70 To finish the equation, times both sides by 70: (.5)(70) = (70)(x/70) [The x70 and /70 cancel each other out] 35 = x So, 50% of 70 is 35.
