To solve this, you would divide x by y, and multiply by 100.

(x/y)*100 = Percent of y

IE:

if x=3 and y=4

(3/4)*100

.75*100= 75%

3 is 75% of 4.

What is six eighths in a percentage how did you get it?

By formula, x/y*100 = Percentage. 6/8*100 = 75% ie) The formula for percentile value is x/y *100 where X is the part of y for which percentage needs to be known, and Y is our standard. eg) What percent is is 3 of 8. 3 is our 'x' of which value needs to be known, 8, or 'Y' is our standard. 3/8*100 = 37.5%

How do you solve for cross elasticity?

To solve for cross elasticity of demand, you use the formula: [ E_{xy} = \frac{%\ \text{Change in Quantity Demanded of Good X}}{%\ \text{Change in Price of Good Y}} ] First, calculate the percentage changes in quantity demanded for good X and the price of good Y. Then, divide the percentage change in quantity demanded of good X by the percentage change in price of good Y. A positive value indicates that the goods are substitutes, while a negative value suggests they are complements.


How much percentage higher is x than y?

To calculate how much percentage higher ( x ) is than ( y ), use the formula: (\frac{x - y}{y} \times 100). This will give you the percentage increase of ( x ) over ( y ). For example, if ( x = 120 ) and ( y = 100 ), the calculation would be (\frac{120 - 100}{100} \times 100 = 20%). Thus, ( x ) is 20% higher than ( y ).

Y=a(x-h)+k is the vertex formula. Since the vertex is at (-2,-3) this parabola has the equation: y=a(x+2)^2-3 We can plug in x=-1 but we really need to know a, to solve for y. ( we can solve it, but we will have an a in the solution)
