Question

calculate correct to two decimal places


​

Answer 1

let the percent be a%

now that means

a% of y is x

or

a% of y = x

But, first we have to calculate x and y

Given

√3 = 1.732

√2 = 1.414

x = 1/(√3 +√2 + 1)

x = 1/(1.732 + 1.414 +1)

x = 1/4.146

x = 0.24

y = 1/(√3 -√2 + 1)

y = 1/(1.732 - 1.414 +1)

y = 1/1.318

y = 0.75

Now,

a% of y = x

a% of 0.75 = 0.24

a/100 x 0.75 = 0.24

a = 0.24×100/0.75

a = 24×100/75

a = 32%
