Juan’s family took a road trip to the Grand Canyon. Juan Fell asleep after they had travelled 177 miles. If the total length of the trip was 300 miles. What percentage of the total trip had they traveled when Juan fell asleep
They had traveled 177 miles out of 300, which is equivalent to 59% of the total trip.
A bakery sold 224 chocolate chip cupcakes in a day which was 56% of the total number of cupcakes sold that day how many total cupcakes did the bakery sell that day
A bakery sold 224 chocolate chip cupcakes in a day which was 56% of the total number of cupcakes sold that day how many total cupcakes did the bakery sell that day
Let the total number of cupcakes sold be x. Then, we can write an equation based on the information given:
224 = 0.56x
To solve for x, we can divide both sides by 0.56:
x = 224 ÷ 0.56
x = 400
Therefore, the bakery sold a total of 400 cupcakes that day.
What is the result when the number 60 is increased by 50%
To increase 60 by 50%, we need to find 50% of 60 and then add it to 60:
50% of 60 = 0.5 × 60 = 30
Therefore, when 60 is increased by 50%, we get:
60 + 30 = 90
So the result is 90.
What is the result when the number 96 is increased g 86%
To increase 96 by 86%, we need to find 86% of 96 and then add it to 96:
86% of 96 = 0.86 × 96 = 82.56
Therefore, when 96 is increased by 86%, we get:
96 + 82.56 = 178.56
So the result is 178.56.
The population of a city increases 1.1% per year. If this years population is 368,000 what will next years population be to the nearest individual
To find next year's population, we need to increase this year's population by 1.1%.
First, we need to convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100:
1.1% ÷ 100 = 0.011
Next, we can multiply the current population by 1 plus the decimal form of the percentage increase:
Next year's population = 368,000 × (1 + 0.011)
Next year's population = 368,000 × 1.011
Next year's population = 371,848
Rounding to the nearest individual, next year's population will be 371,848.
