D. 70/x = 50/100


My answers:
4/7 as a percent. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent
= 0.57142 = 57.142% = 57.1% C

.709 as a percent
70.9% B

81.25% of 21 = about 16 A

48% of 23.95 = about 12.00 A

15% of $58.50 = about 5.8 + 2.9 = 8.7 = about 9 B

50 is 12.5?
12.5/50 = 25/100 = 25% B

50 is 6.25% of what number
50 = 0.625 times X
So x = 50/0.625 = 80 B

50% of 70% = 35
So the proportion would x/70 = 50/100 A

Answer 1

This answer is wrong:
7.
50 is 12.5?
12.5/50 = 25/100 = 25% B

The rest are correct.

Answer 2

Oh, thank you Mrs.Sue :)!!

Answer 3

You're welcome, Cami.

Answer 4

Question 8

x / 70 = 50 / 100 Multiply both sides by 100

100 x / 70 = 50 Multply both sides by 70

100 x = 50 * 70

100 x = 3500 Divide both sides by 100

x = 3500 / 100 = 35


x / 50 = 70 / 100 Multiply both sides by 100

100 x / 50 = 70 Multply both sides by 50

100 x = 70 * 50

100 x = 3500 Divide both sides by 100

x = 3500 / 100 = 35

Answers A and B are the same.

Answer 5
