Let the number be X, then

B% = B/100

→ B% of X = C

→ B/100 x X = C

→ X = C ÷ (B/100) = C x 100/B = 100C ÷ B

So to find the number, divide C by B percent.

The number is N, where N*B/100 = C or N = 100*C/B.

Which of the following percents can also be expressed as a mixed number A 310 percent B 49 percent C 7.4 percent D 0.001 percent?

310%


If A exceeds B by 40 percent and B is less than C by 20 percent then A is to C is?

Assume that B is 100% A therefore is 140% —> B + 40% C therefore is 120% —> B + 20% Therefore A : C = 140 : 120 Therefore A exceeds C by 16.67%


How can you find the percent of one number is of another For example what perecnt of 35 is 7?

question: find the percentage A is of B or, 7 (A) is what percente of 35 (B) (B-A)/B x 100 =C. then subtract C from 100 B-A 35-7=28 /B 28/35=0.8 x 100 =C 0.8 x 100=80 - C 100-80=20. so, 7 is 20 percent of 35


What is A - B - C if the answer is -13?

There are an infinite number of combinations for A, B, and C in this case. Just assign any number for A and for B, then calculate the value for C.There are an infinite number of combinations for A, B, and C in this case.

B is a proper subset of C If the cardinal number of C is 8 what is the maximum number of elements in B?

If every element of B is contained in C, then B is a subset of C. If every element of B is contained in C and B is not the same as C, then B is a proper subset of C.The cardinal number of a set is the number of elements in the set.In this case, C has 8 elements, so B has at most 7 elements.
