Is this correct? If I'm mistaken, please correct it for me, and show me how. Thanks.
[Fractions, Decimals, and Percents.]
33 & 1/3 of $90 = $21.00
100% of 500 = $500
1% of 500 = $5.00
50% of 70 = $35.00
100% of 70 = $70.00
Thanks, you don't have to tell me all of then, just say some if they are correct/wrong.
33 & 1/3 of $90 = $21.00 -- Wrong
100% of 500 = $500 -- Right
1% of 500 = $5.00 -- Right
50% of 70 = $35.00 -- Right
100% of 70 = $70.00 -- Right
Could you explain why I got that one wrong?
Also, 66 1/2% of $24.00, how do I do these problems? :\
Thanks, by the way for checking them :)
For the 1st problem: 90*.333333
0.333333 * 90 = 29.999999
33 1/3% = 1/3
1/3 * 90 = 30
Sure! Here's an evaluation of the calculations you provided:
1. 33 & 1/3 of $90 = $21.00
To calculate 33 & 1/3 of $90, you can convert 33 & 1/3 to a decimal by dividing it by 100. So, it becomes 0.3333. Then, multiply 0.3333 by $90 to get the answer. Let's calculate it:
0.3333 * $90 = $29.9997 (approximately $30.00)
Therefore, the correct value is $30.00 instead of $21.00.
2. 100% of 500 = $500
This statement is correct. Since 100% represents the whole or the entire amount, multiplying 100% by any number will give you the same value.
3. 1% of 500 = $5.00
To calculate 1% of 500, you need to divide 500 by 100 to get 1%. Let's calculate it:
1% of 500 = (1/100) * 500 = 5
So, the correct value is $5.00.
4. 50% of 70 = $35.00
To calculate 50% of 70, you can convert 50% to a decimal by dividing it by 100. So, it becomes 0.5. Then, multiply 0.5 by 70 to get the answer. Let's calculate it:
0.5 * 70 = $35.00
Therefore, this statement is correct.
5. 100% of 70 = $70.00
Similar to statement #2, this statement is also correct. Multiplying 100% by any number will give you the same value as the number itself.
So, after analyzing the calculations you provided, statements #2, #3, #4, and #5 are correct, while statement #1 is incorrect.
