The correct answer is: " 83 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] % " ; or, write as: " 83.333 % " .
Step-by-step explanation:
65 = n/100 * 278 ? ; Solve for "n" ;
↔ n/100 * 278 = 65 ?
n/100 = 65/278 ;
↔ [tex]\frac{n}{100} = \frac{65}{278}[/tex] ;
Cross-factor multiply:
→ 278 n = 65 * 100;
→ 278 n = 6500 ;
Divide each side of the equation by "278" ;
to isolate "n" on one side of the equation;
& to solve for "n" :
_______
→ 278 n / 278 = 6500 / 278 ;
to get:
→ " n = [tex]\frac{6500}{78} = \frac{250}{3}[/tex] = (250 ÷ 3) = 83.333333333333...
= 83 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] ,
_______
The answer is: " 83 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] % " ; or, write as: " 83.333 % " .
