a. Sixty is what percent of 50? b. Fifty is what percent of 60?

OpenStudy (lieutenantgeneral):

Sixty is what percent of 50? = 30 Fifty is what percent of 60? = 30

hartnn (hartnn):

those are incorrect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is not right LieutenantGeneral

hartnn (hartnn):

"Sixty" ----> 60 " is what percent" ----> = x% of 50 ----> 50 60 = x% * 50 x% = 60/50 x= 60/50 *100 find x from here

hartnn (hartnn):

"Fifty"----> 50 " is what percent" -----> y% of 60 ----> 60 50 = y% * 60 y% = 50/60 y = 50/60 *100 find y from here.

So would the first one be 83.3....%???

hartnn (hartnn):

x= 60/50 *100 = 6000/50 = 600/5 = 120 so, \(\large 120 \%\)

hartnn (hartnn):

oh you mean 2nd one ? yes! 2nd one is 83.33 % :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
