75 of n=66 75x66=n

Answer 8

I find Katrina very clear

Answer 9

Come on star, break this down as I taught you too.

is/of = %/100

66/x = 75/100

Answer 17

Did I explain it properly?

Answer 18

Don't look at anyone else's steps, just look at mine :P

Answer 19

, 75 and 66 is .66 so

Answer 20

66 remains 66 because it is not 66%.

If it was a percentage, then you will use the decimal.

Answer 27

Don't memorize Mathematics. Comprehend it.

Answer 28

well teach me hero

Answer 29

Katrina is correct =)

Answer 30

as always =P

Answer 31

The question asks:

75% of what number is 66?

is/of = %/100

66/x = 75/100

66/x = 3/4

3*x = 66*4
3x = 264
x = 264/3
x = 88

Therefore, 75% of 88 is 66

Pippa, this truly is the proper solution given what is asked of the original question.

Proportion is an equation with the form:

a/b = c/d

Answer 32

Answer 34

I'm going to bed. I'm not doing this again, lol

Answer 35

pippa can u explan it step by step?

Answer 36

Star, try first.

Answer 37

ok well 24n=96% and 96/n=24 so 96/24=4and244=96% so the answer is 6% of 96%

Answer 38

is that correct?

Answer 39

correction 24 is 6% of 96%

Answer 40

Star...

Answer 41

wat is it wrong agian?

Answer 42

24 is 96% of what number?

What is your expression here?

Answer 43

24 is n of 96

Answer 44

i thought i was right!!??

Answer 45

96% converts to what?

Answer 46

.96

Answer 47

Good, so now your eequation is:
24 is n of .96

Answer 48

"Is" converts to?

Answer 49

um =

Answer 50

%

Answer 51

Great.
Now our equation is:
24 = n of .96

Answer 52

What does "of" convert to?

Answer 53

%

Answer 54

What does OF convert to Star?

Answer 55

%

Answer 56

"OF" does NOT convert to a percentage sign!!!

Answer 57

Scroll up, view and refer to your past questions and my explanations on them!!!

Answer 58

x

Answer 59

Multiplication.
Now our eqaution is??

Answer 60

no i put x in cuz i meant mutliplycation i did not know how to put it

Answer 61

Now, we found all our components.
Our equation is?

Answer 62

our equation is 24=n *.96

Answer 63

i think thats times

Answer 64

Yay! Good!

Answer 65

Now lets solve.
24 = n x .96

The "n x .96" can be easily written as ".96n"

Do you understand why?

Answer 66

yes cuz when there togeter like that it is *(multiplycation)

Answer 67

Good!!
So our final equation is:
24 = .96n

How can we get "n" alone?

Answer 68

24 is 48% of 96%

Answer 69

Answer my question..the answer you got is inaccurate.

Answer 70

wat do u mean?

Answer 71

24 = .96n

Our goal is to get "n" alone.

To do so, we have to divide .96 from both sides

When we do so, we get:
24/.96 = .96n/.96

.96n / .96 gives us simply "n"

24/.96 give us?

Answer 72

n=50%

Answer 73

24 divided by .96 is???

Answer 74

25

Answer 75

Do you understand how to do this whole thing?

Answer 76

yea just about thank u

Answer 77

Anytime =)
