B. How do you know find 7% of your total in part A? Show your proportion and work. Explain your process.(1 point)
To find 7% of the total in part A, you can create a proportion using the given information.
Let x represent the total amount in part A.
7% of x can be represented as 7/100 * x.
The proportion can be set up as:
7/100 = 7/100 * x
To solve for x, cross multiply:
7 * x = 100 * 7
Simplifying:
7x = 700
Dividing both sides by 7:
x = 100
So, finding 7% of the total in part A would be multiplying the total by 7/100 or simply dividing the total by 100 and then multiplying the result by 7. In this case, it would be 100 * 7/100 = 7.
