Exercise 4 Page 141

Use the percent proportion.

48

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= 75 and a= 36, and we are looking for the value of b.

a/b=p/100
SubstituteII

a= 36, p= 75

36/b=75/100
ReduceFrac

a/b=.a /25./.b /25.

36/b=3/4
MultEqn

LHS * b=RHS* b

36=3/4 * b
MoveRightFacToNumOne

1/b* a = a/b

36=3b/4
MultEqn

LHS * 4=RHS* 4

144=3b
DivEqn

.LHS /3.=.RHS /3.

48=b
RearrangeEqn

Rearrange equation

b=48

This means that 36 is 75 % of 48.
