im doing percent proportions and it is asking: 57% if 109 is what number?
And i already know that you start with
57/100 = x/109 but how do you get the answer, i cant figure it out!!!
57/100 is .57 right so times by 109 to get the answer x=_
i agree with ben. 57/100 is .57
.57 times 109 = X
X= 62.13
To find the answer to your question, you can follow these steps:
1. Start with the proportion: 57/100 = x/109.
2. Cross-multiply the values in the proportion. Multiply 57 by 109 and multiply 100 by x.
(57)(109) = (100)(x)
3. Calculate the values on both sides of the equation:
6213 = 100x
4. Solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 100:
x = 6213/100
5. Simplify the division:
x = 62.13
Therefore, 57% of 109 is equal to 62.13.
