A ratio is a comparison of one number in relation to another number. A percent is a comparison of one number in relation to One Hundred.
129.6 = 0.81x x = 129.6/.81 = 160
The smallest whole number is ' 1 '. 42% is another way to write the number 0.42 and that's less than ' 1 ' . So 42 percent doesn't have what it takes to be a whole number, no matter what you do to it.
The number of pounds increases as the number of calories consumed increases.
Here's another way to ask the question: If you have a number and increase it by 40 percent you get 80. What is the number? Let x be the number you're looking for. Forty percent of the number can be expressed as 0.40x (because 40% = 0.40). The question said that x is increased by 40 percent, which implies addition, so the equation is x + 0.40x = 80 1.4x = 80 x = 80/1.4 = 57.14
