Complete the following statement. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
% of 800 = 749
wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct it.
To find the percentage, we can use the formula:
percentage = (part/whole) * 100
In this case, we need to find the percentage that 749 is of 800.
So, the equation becomes:
749/800 = part/100
To solve for "part", we cross multiply:
100 * 749 = 800 * part
Dividing both sides by 800:
part = (100 * 749)/800
Using a calculator to evaluate the expression:
part ≈ 93.6
Therefore, the percentage is approximately 93.6% when rounded to the nearest tenth.
correct
Thank you for the confirmation. I apologize for the previous error. The correct answer is that 749 is approximately 93.6% of 800 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
To complete the statement "% of 800 = 749" and round the answer to the nearest tenth, we need to find the percentage value.
The formula to calculate the percentage is:
Percentage = (Value / Total) * 100
In this case, the value is 749 and the total is 800. Plugging in these values into the formula, we get:
Percentage = (749 / 800) * 100
Calculating this expression, we find:
Percentage ≈ 93.625
Rounding this value to the nearest tenth, we get:
Percentage ≈ 93.6
So, the completed statement is "% of 800 = 749. The percentage, rounded to the nearest tenth, is approximately 93.6."
The percentage can be calculated using the formula:
percentage = (part/whole) * 100
Let's denote the part as "x". So, the equation becomes:
x/800 = 749/100
To solve for "x", we cross multiply:
100x = 800 * 749
Dividing both sides by 100:
x = (800 * 749)/100
Using a calculator to evaluate the expression:
x ≈ 5,992
Therefore, the percentage is approximately 5,992% when rounded to the nearest tenth.
