Well, honey, technically speaking, no, they're not the same. "100 fold" means something is multiplied by 100, while "to the power of 100" means something is raised to the 100th power. So, in math land, those are two different beasts. Hope that clears things up for ya, sugar.
20 x---- = -----100 1000Cross multiply so100 * X = 20 *1000or100x = 20,000Divide by 100 on both sides to isolate the variable [x]100x = 20,000 x = 200------- ---------100 100So 20% of 1000 is 200.
24-----100% x-------9.2% 100x= 24 X 9.2 x=220.8/100 x=2.208%
If you mean 100 times 300 then it is 30,000
100x -1x = 99
As a Wiccan, I understand the concept of "100 fold" more than most. It is not the multiplication of a number times 100, as most assume it is. However, it is doubling whatever number 100 times. Imagine your number is a piece of paper. You fold it in half one time. Fold it again a second time. If your number is one, then two fold would be 4. Or, more simply, 2 to the 100th power. So, to answer your question, 100 fold is... 1,267,650,600,228,229,401,496,703,205,376 Which to say is a really, really, really big number. LOL *********** The above answer is NOT true. Merriam-Webster and other dictionaries cite tenfold or hundredfold as 10 units or 10x something (or 100 units or 100x some other number).--jhh
3% = 3/100 part/whole : x/5 = 3/100 cross multiply, so 100x = 5(3) 100x = 15 100x/100 (to isolate the x) = 15/100 x = 0.15
Use a proportion.- x/63.2=16/100 100x=16x63.2 100x/100=1011.2/100 x=10.112
57/100 = x/70. Cross multiply; 3990=100x x=3990/100. 57 % of 70 is 3990/100 or 39.9.
Let 135 = x Therefore 100x = 13500 100x - x = 13, 365 100 - 1 = 99 13, 365 x =------------ 99 100 Multiply by -------- 100 1, 336, 500 =---------------- 9900 99 Divide by----- 99 13500 = -------- 100 1 Multiply by ---- 100 13500 =----------- 10, 000 = 1.35%
just devide by a hundred 100x = 33 x = 0.33
A magnification of 100x typically requires the use of a 100x objective lens on a microscope. Different microscopes may have varying objective lens magnifications, but for a total magnification of 100x, the 100x objective is commonly used.
"Is" over "of" equals "percent sign" over "100." x/44=40/100 cross multiply 100x=40*44 100x=1760 x=17.6
BY DIRECT PROP 100 5.00 161 x 100/5 = 161/x cross multiplication 100x = 161*5 100x = 805 x = 805/100 x = 8.05
Use a proportion: x/74 = 5.5/100 cross multiply 100x =74 * 5.5 100x = 407 Divide both sides by 100 x = 4.07
We can set up a proportion to figure this out. We can take 10 and put it over 100 (10/100) since 100 is the highest number for percent. It will be 10/100=x/5.99 (X will be your answer). Then we multiply across. 10 X 5.99=59.9, and 100 times X=100X. Now the problem should look like 59.9=100X. Now we divide by 100 (not 100X) on both sides. 100X/100 the two hundreds will cancel out, however X will remain there because you just divided by 100 and not 100X. 59.9/100=0.599.X=0.599.Now to figure 10% off (like a discount at a store), we must subtract the percentage from the original amount. So 5.99 - 0.599 = 5.391. Rounded to nearest cent is 5.39
Make a proportion: 65/100 = x/88.4 Cross multiply: 5746= 100x x= 57.46
