Simple math question need help, im dumb!

Hooked on fonix did not work for mez

70/160 = 30/x

 

[potoba]

160/7*3= ?

 

[ballmode]

still clueless... cross multy then divide?

 

[Alone]

x = 30(160/70)

Hooked on phonics didn't work because you should have been studying simple algebra!

The answer is roughly 69.

Oh yea, Jack Bauer would have known that answer.

Look at it this way:
160 is 70% of something, or 160 = 0.7*x.
x =~ 228.57.
30% of 228.57 is ~68.57

No, Jack Bauer would've shoot the math teacher in the knee and tell she didn't know wtf she talking about.

70/160=30/x

x=(30*160)/70

x=68.57

 

[potoba]

so... 160 is 70%, you do 160/70 to get how much 1% is...
Then you multiply that much by 30 to get how much 30% is
Putting those together, you'll get what people have said, it's 160/70*30

thanks guys, ill probably be back in a few months asking the same question lol

What Martin said...

is means =
xx% percent means .xx
of means *

So:

160 is 70%, what is the other 30% can become
160 is 70% of what? And then just take 30% of it...
160 = .70 * X
X = 160 / .7
X = 228.57142857142857142857142857143

So 30 of 228.57142857142857142857142857143 is what?
.30 * 228.57142857142857142857142857143 = Y
Y = 68.571428571428571428571428571429

160/0.7*0.3

0.7 x X = 160
X = 160/0.7
X = 228.57

0.3 x X = Y
0.3 x 228.57 = Y
68.57 = Y

you'd think it'd bottom out at some point

lacking math skill might enable people to fall into negative number

 

[SirStev0]

.7 * x = 160
x= 160/.7


.3 * 160/.7 =?
