AngeI:

Dang I can't open that on mobile

AngeI:

Wait I can it's just weird nvm

AngeI:

Ok so 100% of a number is just that number (for example 100% of 15 is just 15 So 350% would be 3.5 times that number (350% of 1 would be 3.5) Does this make sense?

Sacredcheats:

no

Sacredcheats:

not really

EstherSmartie:

x = 500

Sacredcheats:

wait no it does

EstherSmartie:

answer is 500

EstherSmartie:

@Sacredcheats the answer is 500. Hope you find this helpful. I will type the explanation right now:

EstherSmartie:

We have, 70% × x = 350 or, 70 100 × x = 350 Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 70, we have x = 350 × 100 70 x = 500

AngeI:

but it's not asking for the answer and even if it was that's kinda wrong

EstherSmartie:

It's not wrong I'm a math teacher

Sacredcheats:

500 is not an answer choice

Aqual:

20

AngeI:

70 is the number after it was increased by 350%

Sacredcheats:

did you open the link

EstherSmartie:

Yes

EstherSmartie:

The answer is the first choice

Sacredcheats:

it's not a whole number

AngeI:

@aqual please do not just give the answer. I was having them work towards it so that they may also learn it c: Same goes for you @esthersmartie

EstherSmartie:

The answer is the first choice, I guarantee it.

EstherSmartie:

@Angel Ah, I got you man. I understand. Hope you forgive me, as a math teacher I should've thought of it the same way you did.

Sacredcheats:

if my test says it aint (which it won't because i am not picking it)

EstherSmartie:

Ehhhh

EstherSmartie:

You don't have to get a 100%, you just need to trust yourself and be confident in your answer.

Sacredcheats:

huh

EstherSmartie:

You know what I mean

AngeI:

Ok so please go back to what I said \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @AngeI Ok so 100% of a number is just that number (for example 100% of 15 is just 15 So 350% would be 3.5 times that number (350% of 1 would be 3.5) Does this make sense? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Use this to try to figure out which answer choice it is o:

Sacredcheats:

Aqual:

Sacredcheats:

Sacredcheats:

70/245

Sacredcheats:

Sacredcheats:

AngeI:

No, as 70 is the number after the 350% increase

Sacredcheats:
