Which choice does not equal the others? How do I figure this out?
A. 4% of 3,000
B. 40% of 30
C. 40% of 300
D. 30% of 400
Do each of the problems.
A. 0.04 * 3,000 = 120
Three of the problems have the same answer. Which one does not?
B does not equal the others
.04*3000=120
.4*30=12
.4*300=120
.3*400=120
Thank you Ms. Sue and Mr. James!
I also had this as a question for my homework! :)
To figure out which choice does not equal the others, you need to calculate the value of each choice and compare them.
Let's calculate the value of each choice:
A. 4% of 3,000:
4% of 3,000 = (4/100) * 3,000 = 0.04 * 3,000 = 120
B. 40% of 30:
40% of 30 = (40/100) * 30 = 0.4 * 30 = 12
C. 40% of 300:
40% of 300 = (40/100) * 300 = 0.4 * 300 = 120
D. 30% of 400:
30% of 400 = (30/100) * 400 = 0.3 * 400 = 120
By comparing the calculated values, we can see that all the choices except B have a value of 120. Therefore, the choice that does not equal the others is B.
