i really appreciate аnу hеlр wіth thіѕ – please don’t tеll mе tο dο mу οwn work οr tο try bесаυѕе i’ve tried really hard i јυѕt don’t gеt percentages.
percentage means the amount out of 100.
1. 138-120 18
the increase is 18 fro 120.
fro 100 we have to find .
i. e (18/120)*100= 180/12=15%
2.
original cost =2. 8$ in crease is 20%
increase is (20/100)*2. 8 =0. 56
new price ==2. 8+. 56=3. 36
3. 28-24. 50=3. 50
% decrease ==(3. 5/28)*100=350/28=12. 5%
4. interest ==(x*4/100)*8 =1536
x= (1536/8)*(100/4) =153600/32 = 4800
5. (550/5000)*100= 55000/5000=11%
1) 138-120=18
18/120=. 15=15%
2) 2. 80 X. 20= . 56
2. 80+. 56=3. 36
3) 28-24. 50= 3. 5
3. 5/28= . 125= 12. 5%
1. It’s gone from 120 to 138 that’s an increase of 18 stamps. 18 out of the original 120 is 18/120 then multiply this by 100 to get a percentage:
18/120 * 100 = 15%
2. $2. 80 is 100% so 1% is 2. 8/100=0. 028 and 20% is 0. 56 Add this to get an increase and you get $3. 36.
3. $28-$24. 50=$3. 50 decrease. $3. 50/$28 * 100 = 12. 5%
4. If she earned $1536 in 8 years she would earn $192 in 1 year. this must be 4% of her investment so multiply this by 25 to get 100%. Initial investment was $4800
5. 550/5000 * 100 = 11%
1-Let’s consider 120 stamps is 100% of the stamps so 138-120=18. If 120 equals 100%
then 18 equals x
that means x=(100*18)/120 =15
so the percent increase between October and March is 15%
2-like (1). If $2. 8 equals 100%
x equals 20%
x=(20*2. 8)/100 = 0. 56
the new price is x+2. 8=$3. 36
3-like (1). f $28 equals 100%
$24. 5 equals x
x=(100*24)/28 =87. 5
the percent of decrease in the price of the stock is 100-87. 5=12. 5
the percent of decrease in the price of the stock is12. 5%
4-1536/8=192$ throw 8 years
like (1). if x equals 100%
192 equals 4%
x=(100*192)/4=$4800
5-like (1). if $5000 equals 100%
$550 equals x
x=(100*550)/5000=11
the annual interest rate if a $5000 investment earns $550 annual simple interest is %11
I hope you have learned something. I did my best-I hope I’m right-, And please try to work it all again by your self.
