OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you can say that: \(\large\color{black}{ x }\) % of 250 is 2. re-write that as: \(\large\color{black}{ x \times \frac{\LARGE1}{\LARGE 100}\times250=2}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you solved my equation?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

need help solving it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Okay, can you telll me what is 250 times 100, equal to?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

it is not, and please stop trying to give answers. I am trying to explain something.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25000

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I should have asked 250 divided by 100 sorry.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

because in our equation that I set up, we are dividing by 100.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2.5

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok cool now what?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

So we now have: \(\large\color{black}{ x \times2.5=2}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

and isolate the x, by dividing by 2.5 on each side.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=0.8

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 0.8 is my answer?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes. it is 0.8 percent.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

In other words, 0.8 percent, of 250 is equal to 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
