Is this answer correct?
55% of x = 2
The answer I got was 40/11.
.55x = 2
x = 2/.55 or 200/55 = 40/11
That is correct if your teacher wants the answer as an improper fraction
otherwise 3 7/11
Thank you John.
To check if your answer is correct, we can solve the equation and compare the result.
First, let's set up the equation:
55% of x = 2
To solve for x, we can convert the percent to a decimal by dividing it by 100. So, 55% becomes 0.55:
0.55 * x = 2
To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.55:
x = 2 / 0.55
Now, let's calculate the value of x:
x ≈ 3.636363...
If we simplify 40/11, we get approximately 3.636363...
Therefore, your answer of 40/11 is correct. Well done!
