To calculate the number of unoccupied rooms, find 75% of 120 to determine occupied rooms, which is 120 × 0.75 = 90 rooms. Subtract the occupied rooms from the total, 120 - 90, resulting in 30 unoccupied rooms.
To transform a ratio into a simplest form fraction, divide each term of the ratio by their greatest common divisor (GCD) if needed, and then express it as a fraction. For the ratio 5:8, since 5 and 8 have no common factors other than 1, the fraction form in simplest terms is 5/8.
The rate is determined by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken, giving a rate of 150 km/3 hrs = 50 km/hr. To predict travel in 7 hours, multiply this rate by 7, yielding 50 km/hr × 7 hrs = 350 km.
To determine the base number where the base raised to the power of 4 equals 81, calculate the fourth root of 81. Realize that 3^4 = 81, therefore, the base number is 3. This involves understanding both the application of exponents and inverse operations like root extraction.
Correctly identifying 'rate' in percentage problems is crucial for accurate calculations of changes relative to a base value. In this context, the rate refers to the 'percent divided by base', which quantifies a part relative to the whole in percentage operations. Misidentification can lead to calculation errors affecting real-world financial decisions.
Understanding percentage increases helps businesses adjust pricing strategies effectively. For example, if a shirt priced at 800 experiences a 15% price increase, the increase is calculated as 800 × 0.15 = 120. Adding this to the original price, the new price becomes 800 + 120 = 920. This understanding assists businesses in considering the impact of price adjustments on sales and consumer demand by anticipating changes in customer perceptions of value, maintaining competitiveness, and driving profit margins.
The opposite of an integer is its negation. For -7, the opposite is 7 because when -7 and 7 are added together, they result in zero, which demonstrates the concept of opposite integers.
To solve the proportion 3/4 = x/16, use cross-multiplication which involves multiplying 3 by 16 and 4 by x, giving 3 × 16 = 4x. This results in 48 = 4x. Dividing both sides by 4 gives x = 12.
According to the order of operations (PEMDAS), the operation inside the parentheses is performed first. In 3² - 1, first compute 3² to get 9, then 9 - 1 results in 8. Next, the multiplication 2 × 8 results in 16. Finally, addition is performed: 5 + 16 equals 21. Therefore, the final result is 21.
