Simple math question need help, im dumb!

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 =?
