Example Question #11 : Percentages

What is 40% of $\frac{2}{5}$ ?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{25}$

$\frac{4}{25}$

$\frac{2}{25}$

$\frac{8}{25}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{4}{25}$

Explanation:

Set up the percent proportion, where is the part:

$\frac{N}{(\frac{2}{5})} = \frac{40}{100}$

Solve for , rewriting as follows:

$N \div \frac{2}{5} = \frac{40\div 20}{100\div 20}$

$N \cdot \frac{5}{2} = \frac{2}{5}$

$N \cdot \frac{5}{2} \div \frac{5}{2} = \frac{2}{5} \div \frac{5}{2}$

$N = \frac{2}{5} \cdot \frac{2} {5} = \frac{4}{25}$

Correct answer:

$\small x=30$

Explanation:

Use a proportion to solve the problem.

$\small \frac{9}{30}=\frac{x}{100}$

Cross multiply

$\small 30x=900$

$\small \frac{30x}{30}=\frac{900}{30}$

$\small x=30$

Example Question #3 : Use Proportional Relationships To Solve Multistep Ratio And Percent Problems: Ccss.Math.Content.7.Rp.A.3

200 percent of what number is equal to the difference between 75 and 25?

Possible Answers:

$\small 30$

$\small 200$

$\small 25$

$\small 20$

$\small 50$

Correct answer:

$\small 25$

Explanation:

We must first start by finding the difference between $\small 75$ and $\small 25$ :

$\small 75-25 = 50$

Next find the decimal equivalent of $\small 200$ %, which is done by dividing by $\small 100$ :

$\small 200/100 = 2$

Now we divide $\small 50$ by $\small 2$ .

$\small 50/2 = 25$

Our final answer is $\small 25$ , because when it is multiplied by $\small 200$ %, it equals the difference between $\small 75$ and $\small 25$ .
