80 is what percent of 24?

Answer 1

Genesis Allen

See a solution process below:

Let's cal the percent we are looking for: #p#

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore p% can be written as #p/100#.

We can write the proportional relationship as:

#p/100 = 80/24#

To solve we multiply each side of the equation by #color(red)(100)#:

#color(red)(100) xx p/100 = color(red)(100) xx 80/24#

#cancel(color(red)(100)) xx p/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(100))) = 8000/24#

#p = 8000/24#

#p = 333.bar3#

80 is #333.bar3%# of 24

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
