6.Use a proportion to solve the problem
31% of 70
x/100 = 31/70; 43.66
x/70 = 31/100; 22.01
x/31 = 70/100; 0.22
70/x = 31/100; 229.03
REPOST FROM BELOW:
Like Reiny said, I think it was just a typo. Is this better? (I changed all the 71s to 70s)
Thanks for clearing this up. Which one do you think is correct?
Nope , you missed my point,
Your typo was in the question,
Every 70 should have been 71
.31(71) = 22.01
Okay, okay, I did not see that. Thank you Reiny. ^^
And Ms. Sue, thanks for your help too!
To solve the problem, you can use a proportion.
The first step is to set up the proportion: x/100 = 31/70.
To find the value of x, you need to cross-multiply and solve the resulting equation:
70x = 3100.
Next, you divide both sides of the equation by 70 to isolate x:
x = 3100/70.
Calculating this gives you x = 44.29.
So, 31% of 70 is approximately 44.29.
