i want to answer it but i dont remember how to

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok what do you think it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lets assume, that the number 2000 is 100%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be d then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because i got 17.50 which is close to D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so lets say that x is the value we are looking for. If 2000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2000=100%. We know, that x is 11%, so we can write it down as x=11%. Now we have two simple equations: 1) 2000=100% 2) x=11% So we can use this info to make the following equation; \(\large \frac{2000}{x}=\frac{100%}{11%}\) Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for. Can you solve it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg poke, im in love i love your math knowledge base lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My what? @Seneca101 can you solve it? or need help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
