using percent notation ??? M i Making this hard?

Question

Rewrite the statement using percent notation

"of 50houses ina development, 41 are sold"

Answer 1

Essentially, the question is what percentage is 41/50. This is an easy one, since 50 is a factor of 100. So multiply both the top and bottom by 2, and you get 82/100. Therefore, the percentage is 82% sold.

Answer 2

(41/50) * 100%

82% of the houses in the development have been sold

Answer 3

A percentage is simply a number * 100; it represents the number out of 100 that meet the test.

if 41 out of 50 houses are sold, then that is 82 out of 100 (multiplying by two), or 82%.

Another way is to divide 41/50 = .82, and then multiply that by 100 to get to 82% again.

Hope that helps.

Answer 4

it's not impossible, actually, it's pretty easy, it just takes alot of steps, and alot of time (which i don't have, seeing as i have my project to work on once i finish lunch), just break it down into manageable parts.. it's basic math disguised as complex problems... and most of the first two questions are just playing with the same equation you found in the first part.. and 3 should take you all of 10 seconds, if you know scientific notation (1000=1.E3, .01=1.0E-2) and how to calc ratios

Answer 5

( 41/50 )x100% = 82%

Answer 6

82%
