Question

ILikeToEatChildren · Answer

i need the last 2 ones, I am not sure how to solve

mhanifa · Answer

There is a hint, do you see how to use it?

ILikeToEatChildren · Answer

yes it did, but i kept getting an unreasonable number, i got 945 and that did not seem right.

ILikeToEatChildren · Answer

what i did was 47.25 divided by the 5% and i get 945 which could not be right

mhanifa · Answer

Can you find the ratio of the number in the second column by the number in the first column of the table?

do u understand what i am doing? i used the hint and that did not work

mhanifa · Answer

I see you made a mistake and trying to help you to understand where it was

mhanifa · Answer

So you know the number in the middle column is 5% of the number in the first column, right?

ILikeToEatChildren · Answer

yes

mhanifa · Answer

Now, what about the number in the last column, how do you find it?

ILikeToEatChildren · Answer

you add the numbers in the first and 2nd column

mhanifa · Answer

Good...
If the number in the first column is 100, what would be the other two?

ILikeToEatChildren · Answer

2nd column is 5 and 3rd is 105

mhanifa · Answer

Now, if the number was x instead of 100, then what would be the other two?

ILikeToEatChildren · Answer

idk, what number is X?

mhanifa · Answer

x is unknown

mhanifa · Answer

The number in the 2nd column is 5% of x, how to show this?

ILikeToEatChildren · Answer

so i have to find 5 percent of the number in the 3rd column?

mhanifa · Answer

No, the number in the 3rd column is the sum of the previous two numbers.

mhanifa · Answer

Let's go back to our example with 100

ILikeToEatChildren · Answer

so do i find 95% of the number in the 3rd column?

mhanifa · Answer

Can you see any relationship between the first and 3rd columns?

lifewmylilweeb · Answer

The answer is 46.4 and .85

mhanifa · Answer

You have 3 examples, two in the table and one with the first number 100.
What number you would multiply the first number to get the 3rd? It is same for all three examples?
