OpenStudy (anonymous):

am i right?

OpenStudy (shamil98):

Yes, you are correct.

OpenStudy (shamil98):

.75 x 96 = 72 if you want to double check.

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

72/x 75/100 Cross Multiply -----> 75(x) = 72(100) Simplify ----> 75x = 7200 Divide By 75 On Both Sides ----> x = 96

70% of a number is 98. What is 90% of that same number? A. 63 B. 68.6 C. 88.2 D. 126

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it is C

OpenStudy (shamil98):

Use this formula: \[\huge \frac{ part }{ whole } = \frac{ \text{%} }{ 100 }\]

OpenStudy (shamil98):

\[\huge \frac{ 98 }{ x } = \frac{ 7 }{ 10 }\] \[\huge 7x = 980\] \[\huge x = 140\] Now it asks what is 90% of that number? So multiply it by .9 \[\huge 140 \times 0.9 = ?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):
