OpenStudy (littlebird):

its correct. think about how a test is graded. If you got 80 points out of 100, you'd have a grade of 80/100, or 80%

MsBrains (ms-brains):

Awesome! thanks for he help, can you help with a few more? like 4more?

MsBrains (ms-brains):

MsBrains (ms-brains):

@Littlebird

OpenStudy (littlebird):

No, it's the second one. I'll compare the logic with a similar example. (% is really an amount out of 100.) so 15% of 100 would be 15 I could find that mathematically by writing (15/100)*100 or .15(100) So in your question you'd need to calculate the percentage by writing... .15(180)

MsBrains (ms-brains):

Oh, alright. Lemme get the next one

MsBrains (ms-brains):

A or B

OpenStudy (littlebird):

This problem is basically the same as the last one. Just replace 180 with 51... .15(51) so it's C

MsBrains (ms-brains):

A..?

OpenStudy (littlebird):

you can even google "15 percent of 51" and that will give you the answer, ($7.65) but I hope you won't use google to find everything.

OpenStudy (littlebird):

((amount used)/(total)) * 100

OpenStudy (littlebird):

All you have to do is use that formula ^

MsBrains (ms-brains):

Wait, to make sure it's D, right? @Littlebird

MsBrains (ms-brains):

@pooja195 Help mee please XD

pooja195 (pooja195):

You're already getting good help.

OpenStudy (littlebird):

How did you get D?

MsBrains (ms-brains):

I got no clue, you said do this (105) (120) *100 that =1260000 That makes no sense. :(

OpenStudy (littlebird):

You should have been dividing, but I admit I left out a part of the equation 100 - ((amount used)/(total)) * 100 100 - ((105)/(120)) * 100 100 - (0.875 * 100)

MsBrains (ms-brains):

12.5

OpenStudy (littlebird):

yes.

MsBrains (ms-brains):

last one. :) Thank you for helping

OpenStudy (littlebird):

sorry i forgot to write that part.

MsBrains (ms-brains):

Just show me how I need to solve this, and I'll get it right!

MsBrains (ms-brains):

@Littlebird are you still there..?

OpenStudy (littlebird):

Reshingled = 1400 sq feet = 70% 100% = 1400/0.7 = 2000 sq feet

MsBrains (ms-brains):

AWesome! Thanks for everything!
