can someone help me plz with my math?

ill give you a medal

Use the formula P = RB Where P is the Percentage, R is the Rate in decimal and B is the base.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know how to do that my teacher didnt teach me

OpenStudy (ranga):

I will do the first one and you can get the idea how to do the rest. P = RB In problem 1) B = 465 R = 0.24 (remember: 24% = 24/100 = 0.24) P = RB = 465 x 0.24 = 111.60

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its kinda like 100% of 50 is 50?

OpenStudy (ranga):

yeah, something like that. P = RB For problem 2) B = ? R = 0.12 P = 103 Plug the numbers into the formula and solve for B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok b is confuzing tho

OpenStudy (ranga):

P = RB R = 0.12 P = 103 So 103 = 0.12 x B To isolate B, divide both sides by 0.12 103 / 0.12 = B B = 858.33

OpenStudy (ranga):

Do you want to try C?

OpenStudy (ranga):

They ask you to round to the nearest tenth, so the answer for B should be 858.3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got it do u wannaa see my answers?

OpenStudy (ranga):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (ranga):

C should be 14%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all it gives me is 14.1

OpenStudy (ranga):

If that is the closest then I suppose you can use that. The actual answer comes to 13.99 which when rounded should be 14.0%. The rest are all correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!!!
