question
80 mean 100% (80-32) mean x% cross multiplie and calcule the x value
@AZ
Basically, since we know that 32 people were wearing a red shirt, we can do 80-32 to get how many people were not wearing read shirts. Then all we have to do is do the answer of 80-32 and divide that by 80. Multiply that by 100 to get your percentage.
\[((80-32)/80)*100\]We calculate the amount of people not wearing red and divide that by the whole. The times 100 is to convert it from a decimal to a percentage answer form.
I got .6
Good, now multiply that by 100 to get your answer.
so 60%
Correct
60% didn't wear a red shirt, while 40% did
would we do this one the same way
No we wouldn't, we would have to work backwards to find the starting point in that problem
can you explain it
So basically, because the subs increased by 180% which is at 140000 subs, the problem asks for the initial amount at the beginning of the year when the subs were 180% less.
so subtract 180 by 140000 or divide
its just 80-32)/80 which is 48/80 which is 0.6, which is 60 percent
@ramen
help
All you would do is divide 140000/1.8 to get your answer
thanks
Yup np
The 1.8 is 180% as a decimal
