Powered by AITo find the number where 80 is 40% of it, use the equation: 80 = 0.40 * number. Divide both sides by 0.40 to isolate the variable: number = 80 / 0.40 = 200 .
Percentages are used to calculate discounts by reducing the original price by the percentage value or to compute interest in finance. For example, a 20% discount on a $50 item is calculated by (20 / 100) * 50 = $10 off, resulting in a $40 sale price .
Use the percentage formula: (Part / Whole) * 100 = Percentage. For 30% of 150, calculate: (30 / 100) * 150 = 45 .
To solve 5y - 7 = 18, add 7 to both sides to remove the constant: 5y = 25. Then, divide both sides by 5: y = 5 .
Apply PEMDAS by first solving inside the parentheses: (3 + 7) = 10. Then, multiply: 10 * 2 = 20. Finally, subtract: 20 - 4 = 16 .
To solve the equation 2x + 3 = 11, first subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the term with the variable: 2x = 8. Then, divide both sides by 2 to solve for x: x = 4 .
The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying its length by its width. For a rectangle with an 8 cm length and a 5 cm width, the area is 8 * 5 = 40 square centimeters. This represents the space enclosed within the rectangle's perimeters .
The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated using the formula 2 * (Length + Width). For this rectangle, the perimeter is 2 * (7 + 4) = 2 * 11 = 22 cm. The perimeter represents the total distance around the edges of the rectangle .
According to the order of operations, we start with the expression inside the parentheses: 10 - 8 = 2. Next, we perform the multiplication: 6 * 2 = 12. Finally, we complete the addition: 5 + 12 = 17 .
Understanding area and perimeter is vital for applications like interior design, where calculating space and boundary measurements helps plan furniture layouts or wall decorations, and in construction, for estimating materials needed .
