OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (igreen):

Make an equation. 50 = x% * 40 50 = 40x Divide 40 to both sides, what's 50 / 40?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o gosh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10 not 20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (igreen):

@narissa What's 50 / 40?

OpenStudy (narissa):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@girl824 you are wrong, it has to more than 100% since 50 is bigger than 40

OpenStudy (narissa):

its 1.25

OpenStudy (igreen):

They are incorrect @narissa ..divide 50 / 40 and multiply by 100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes @narissa

OpenStudy (narissa):

.0125

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.25 is the answer

OpenStudy (igreen):

Multiply not divid @narissa

OpenStudy (igreen):

*divide

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Guys the answer is not 1.25 because the answer asks for a percent...

OpenStudy (igreen):

OpenStudy (igreen):

OpenStudy (narissa):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes.. 50 / 40 = 1.25 1.25 * 100 = 125%

OpenStudy (anonymous):
