Answer 3

These are a little bit difficult to answer in the sense of guiding. I understand these, but I am having problems thinking of ways to put the explanation in coherent terms to make it so you can actually understand me.

Answer 6

Ok, out of the top group, lets start with the bottom term.

\(\displaystyle \frac{45}{20}=\frac{x}{100}\)

Any number over over 100 means that it can automatically be converted in to a percentage.

So for this one, 45 is exactly opposite of the x. So therefore we would be solving for, 45 is x percent of 20.

Does this make sense?

Answer 7

Yeah

Answer 8

So 45/20 = x/100 = 45 is what percent of 20?
