Question

What % Of 6y is 24 Please show work i really need help :(

Answer 1

Is this how the question is stated on your paper? seems a bit vague?

Answer 2

Thank you for helping me Mathjerky :)

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

not a problem. Just have two unknowns so it would be difficult to solve without another equation.

Answer 5

is it 6y? or another number instead of the y?

Answer 6

nope its just 6y

Answer 7

cause that y means you can plug in any number there, so the possibilities of the % could be endless.

Answer 8

They sid we could use a proportion to anwser the question in the terms of y

Answer 9

General formula for this type is: is / of = % / 100, I believe.
so, since 'is' is by the 24, is = 24 and 64 is next to the 'of', of = 24

Answer 10

24 / 6y = % / 100

Answer 11

just have two unknowns which is causing an issue. y & the %.

Answer 12

did u use it as a proportion already?

Answer 13

im just gunna assume they want it as a formula so you can just add in any 'y' value in the future to easily solve.

Answer 14

so using 24 / 6y = % / 100, i would solve for the % to get the equation to find the %.

Answer 15

you would want to get the % by itself, so multiply both sides by 100.

Answer 16

then you get 100 * 24 / 6y = %

Answer 17

you can then just write it as 2400 / 6y = %

Answer 18

since 24 * 100 is 2400

Answer 19

i think that is what they want for the answer. Because then for any value of 'y' you plug in, it w ill give you the %.

Answer 20

What about What % of 7y is 119

Answer 21

for example: y = 1,
2400 / 6(1) = %
2400 / 6 = %
400 = %

Answer 22

this you can also use a proportion

Answer 23

yeah, the same way, the other is set up.

Answer 24

the formula that you use to plug in is: is / of = % / 100

Answer 25

What # is 48% of 175

Answer 26

same formula: is / of = % / 100
except this time they give you the % instead of the "is"
so it would look like:
is / 175 = 48 / 100

Answer 27

then, you could just multiply 175 to both side to get "is" by itself.

Answer 28

is = 175 * 48 / 100

Answer 29

now this one confused me 150 is 15% of what #

Answer 30

is / of = % / 100, is = 150, 15 = %. this one is just missing the "of"
therefore,
it would look like:
150 / of = 15 / 100

Answer 31

however, in this case. it requires a slight bit more algebra to solve for the of.
first, multiply of to get it to the numerator.
150 = of * 15 / 100
the you need to move the 15 / 100 to the other side, to do this we have to divide by 15 and multiple by 100 to cancel them on the right side.

Answer 32

150 / 15 * 100 = of

Answer 33

150 / 15 = 30, 30 * 100 = 3000

Answer 34

oops, typo. its suppose to be 10, not 30.

Answer 35

1000 is the answer.

Answer 36

you always want to check your answers when you done, to make sure they make sense.

Answer 37

you can do this by saying 15% of 1000 is what? 15% = .15 when you convert to decimals
and 1000 * .15 = 150. which is what you started with.

Answer 38

Hopefully, this helped. Gotta go help my friend! Good Luck!
