this is the only one on the paper i cant figure out... geh
2% of what number is 15?
let the number be x
so (20/100)x = 15
can you solve that little equation?
I am sure you can finish it up.
Is that 20% or 2%?
taking a second look....
oops, sure looks like 2%
a quicker way than I showed before:
15 ÷ .02
To solve the equation (2/100)x = 15, we need to isolate x.
First, let's simplify the equation:
(2/100)x = 15
Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 100/2 to cancel out the fraction:
100/2 * (2/100)x = 100/2 * 15
This simplifies to:
x = 30
Therefore, 2% of 30 is 15.
Alternatively, we can solve this equation using a quicker method.
To find out what number 2% of 15 is, we can divide 15 by 0.02 (which is the decimal form of 2%).
So, 15 ÷ 0.02 = 750.
Therefore, 2% of 750 is 15.
