Yes you may!But one problem.I recently sold one for 40% off, and forgot the regular price.So Lets do find it.
X
18
40100
BEGGINING
18 x 100=1,800 1,800/40=45
thank you for the explanation, i will now buy it.
QUESTION
Thanks!!!
I used the system Math. Make a table, add in given numbers, test the pattern, and help find unknown numbers. I put 100% because it is the total. then I put 40% there because all percentages go on that side. Then I put x for the total amount of dollars and 18$ because money is on that side.
yea it was, thank you for the skateboard
It was nice doing the math problem with you thanks!!!
You will now continue math, and do 18 x 100 because of the cross multiplication, then you get 1,800 then divide it by 40 and get 45
so as you can see the system math works. For example, since I had a percentage problem, therefore I know to do the system Math, and I got the answer correct!!! This system also helps you because you know what to do since it is already telling you, for example, I knew to add given numbers.
Adding on to find the places in a table when you have percentages, you must 100 % is always in the total, so at the bottom corner.Then you know the side 100% is on you must put another percentage unless it is being found. You then put non-percentages on the other side unless one of them is being found, and that is how you do it.
