Question

tyree sold tee shirts .he sold six tee shirts which was 30% of his invintory how many t shirts are in his invintory?

Answer 1

You can use a proportion.

6 shirts are 30% of something.
What number is 100% of the same something.

6 is to 30 as x is to 100

6:30 = x:100

\(\dfrac{6}{30} = \dfrac{x}{100} \)

Solve for x.

Answer 2

wait i still dont get it

Answer 3

Have you learned proportions?

Answer 4

kinda i need help on the question can you explain better i am doing homework thats why i ask

Answer 5

Ok.
Here is another way of looking at it.

In math, the word "of" usually means "times."
Also, percent, or %, means divide by 100.

Answer 6

The question your problem asks is:

6 is 30% of a number.
Find the number.

Answer 7

AND HOW DO IMPLY I DO THAT AIR HEAD

Answer 8

YOU ARE NOT LISTINING

Answer 9

We use the math vocabulary above to translate the question into an equation.
BTW, the word "is" usually means =.
Also, for "a number" which means an unknown number, we use a variable which is usually a letter, very commonly x.

English: 6 is 30% of a number.
Math: 6 = 30/100 * x

Answer 10

Now we have a math equation that we can solve to find the number you need.

\(6 = \dfrac{30}{100}x\)

Solve for x.

Answer 11

BYE AND BUY A MATH BOOK GO BACK TO SCHOOL

Answer 12

LOOK I AM NOT HAVING A nighnteen hour convesation message when your sober

Answer 13

good by

Answer 14

\(6 = \dfrac{30}{100}x\)

\(6 = \dfrac{3}{10}x\)

Multiply both sides by \(\dfrac{10}{3} \):

\(\dfrac{10}{3} \times 6 = \dfrac{10}{3} \times \dfrac{3}{10}x\)

\(\dfrac{60}{3} = x\)

\(x = 20\)

The answer is: His inventory had 20 shirts.
He sold 6 shirts, so his inventory has 14 shirts now.
