7 is what percent of 62? (Medal and a fan!)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you just type the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i honestly dont know what this means

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

seriously?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (amistre64):

well if we divide 62 into 100 equal parts, then we know what 1% looks like how many of those 1% pieces make 7?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

n*62/100 = 7 solve for n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont even know what n is

OpenStudy (amistre64):

its a variable, a placeholder for some number of percents

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good point @TwilightSparkleIsBestPony

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so does N represent 1%?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

hmm ... 62/100 represents 1% we want to know how many of those it takes to make 7 N is the number of those percents that it takes to make 7 N * 62/100 = 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

listen im just seeing if my answer is right, is it 11%?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

let me chk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all you have to say is "yes 11% is right" or "No it isnt"

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yep, pretty close

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so i should go with 11%?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

im not grading it, but yeah, 11% is fine for me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you, here is a medal.

OpenStudy (amistre64):
