If 15 percent of n is 45 percent of 2003, what is the value of n?
I think the answer to this is n=6009.
Is this right?
I did that and I got 901.35 for both. So is my answer of 6009 correct?
yes it is
you can answer you own question.
why don't you take 15% of 6009 and
then 45% of 2003 and see what you get?
thanks
To find the value of n, we can set up an equation based on the given information.
We are told that 15 percent of n is equal to 45 percent of 2003.
Let's break this down step by step:
Step 1: Convert the percentages to decimal form (divide by 100):
15 percent becomes 0.15
45 percent becomes 0.45
Step 2: Translate the given information into an equation:
0.15n = 0.45 * 2003
Step 3: Solve the equation for n:
0.15n = 0.45 * 2003
To solve this equation, divide both sides by 0.15:
n = (0.45 * 2003) / 0.15
Calculating the right-hand side of the equation:
n = 3015.9
So, the value of n is approximately 3016, not 6009.
