86 is 45% of what number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We can write an equation: 45%x = 86 To solve we must divide 45% to both sides.. 45% = 0.45 So what's 86 / 0.45?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

38.7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No..check again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know but is that you answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your answer will be the result of dividing 86 / 0.45.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

191.1111111

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, that's your answer..to check we can find 45% of 191.1111111 45% of 191.1111111 0.45 * 191.1111111 = 86

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait so would it be a. 86=0.45n b. n=0.45 x 86 c. 0.45= n x 86 d. 86=45n

@greenlegodude57

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just wrote the equation: 45%n = 86 So what will your answer be..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d is the closest one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, that's incorrect..remember 45% is the same thing as 0.45.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So that means we can replace 0.45 with 45% in our equation..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what would be my answer???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

replace 45% with 0.45*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find out..take my equation and replace 45% with 0.45. 45%n = 86

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@greenlegodude57

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just told you D was incorrect..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm really confused, which one is it then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

45%n = 86 45% is the same thing as 0.45, so we can replace 45% with 0.45. Giving us: 0.45n = 86

OpenStudy (anonymous):

none of then say that....nvm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what idk what you are trying to say

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe you should take a look at your options again to see which one looks more similar to 0.45n = 86

OpenStudy (anonymous):

someone just told be that your answer is wrong in messaging....also why don't you just tell me which letter choice it is if you already explained???? XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Kim21 My answer is not incorrect..and plus I am not supposed to give answers, I am supposed to guide you to the answer so that you may get it on your own.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but your not doing a very good job with that...I need to go now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If that person who 'messaged' you would like to prove how their answer is correct, I would like to hear it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're saying that I have not given you the answer yet..and yet, how could someone say my answer is wrong if I didn't give one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what? look I don't really care anymore and its not that big of a deal so just leave it. u can go now :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Directrix I believe she 'needs to go now'.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes @Directrix please
