Question

Beatrince has 0.28 in her pocket what percent of a dollar does beatrice had

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution for 0.28 is what percent of 100:

0.28:100*100 =

(0.28*100):100 =

28:100 = 0.28

Now we have: 0.28 is what percent of 100 = 0.28

Question: 0.28 is what percent of 100?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 100 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$x.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=100$100%=100.

Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=0.28$x%=0.28.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

$100\%=100(1)$100%=100(1).

$x\%=0.28(2)$x%=0.28(2).

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{100}{0.28}$100%x%=1000.28

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

$\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{0.28}{100}$x%100%=0.28100

$\Rightarrow x=0.28\%$⇒x=0.28%

Therefore, $0.28$0.28 is $0.28\%$0.28% of $100$100.
