Exercise 26 Page 141

Use the percent proportion.

125

Practice makes perfect
In the percent proportion, the ratio of the part a to the whole b is equal to the percent p written as a fraction. a/b=p/100 Given any two of these three variables, we can find the third one. In this exercise, we are given the values p= 160 and a= 200, and we are looking for the value of b.
a/b=p/100
SubstituteII

a= 200, p= 160

200/b=160/100
ReduceFrac

a/b=.a /20./.b /20.

200/b=8/5
MultEqn

LHS * b=RHS* b

200=8/5* b
MoveRightFacToNumOne

1/b* a = a/b

200=8b/5
MultEqn

LHS * 5=RHS* 5

1000=8b
DivEqn

.LHS /8.=.RHS /8.

125=b
RearrangeEqn

Rearrange equation

b=125
This means that 200 is 160 % of 125.
