Which of the following percentages is equivalent to the fraction below?

3/4

To form an equation from the word problem, first break the given statement into smaller statements.

First, we are given the width of the rectangle as x. We are told, the length is two times width. Mathematically, this means

Length=2*width=2*x=2x

Now, the length is 6 less than 2 times width of the rectangle. Thus, the length of rectangle in terms of width becomes:

Length =2x-6

Thus, the length of the rectangle is 2x-6.

We are needed to find the amount Jacob will be left with after spending and reinvesting the rest using the given information.

Amount Jacob spends=87% of $100=87/100*100=$87

Amount left to invest=$(100-87)=$13

Jacob is left with $13, which she invests and earns a profit of 75%.

Profit earned on invested amount=75% of $13=75/100*13=$9.75

So, Jacob will have $13+$9.75=$22.75

: the question requires we find the cost of four syringes.

If we let x be the cost of four syringes, then we set up a proportion equation with cost as numerator and number of syringes as denominator. The proportion equation becomes

Cross-multiply to solve for x

Rearranging the above

Divide both sides of the equation by 55

Thus, the cost of 4 syringes is $48.

We need to find the radius in order to find the area of the pizza.

Radius of pizza

The area of the pizza

But r=4.5

Thus, the area of the pizza is 20.25  in2.

NOTE:  is used as is since values of pi may vary e.g. 3.14, 3.142, 22/7. Hence we use pi symbol to generalize.

When solving percent problems, the following words and their meaning becomes handy.

• Is means equals
• Of means multiply
• What means unknown (variable)

If we let x represent the amount of tip the couple want to leave behind, then

So, the couple will leave a tip of $2.84, which is about $3.00

In this problem, we need to find the amount of gratuity the couple will leave. The gratuity is 16% of the total bill. Before solving the problem, the following are terms and their meaning in percent problems:

• Is means equals
• Of means multiply
• What means unknown (variable)

If we let x be the amount of gratuity, then translating the given problem into a mathematical equation becomes:

So, the value of x=9.376 and to the nearest cent, x=9.38

There, a couple will leave a gratuity of $9.38.

Here we need to find the actual values of the additions and see the trend the student will use to estimate the given problem. The exact sum is as follows

35+192=227

258+350=608

947+1032=1979

From the above calculations, it is evident that the student rounds up or down the ones place values. So, in the problem we need to approximate 694+7618.

694+7618=8312

We can approximate 8312 based on the provided choices is 8310.

We know that 1 L =1000 mL, which we use to convert between the two units. The conversion fractions of interconverting are:

And

Since we want to end up with millimeters, the second conversion is used in converting L to mL as:

Thus, 3.2 L is equivalent to 3200 mL.

We need to find how many mL are in 5.5 teaspoons. We are told that 1 teaspoon is about 4.93 mL, which we interpret as follows:

Or

Since we are looking for mL, we use the second option.

Thus, 5.5 teaspoons can hold approximately 27 mL.

We asked to convert kg to pounds. There are two ways of converting between kg and pounds

And

Since we are to find pounds, we use the second option for kg to cancel

The pound equivalent of 45 kg is 99 lb.
