Nicole used only a fraction of her ribbon to wrap the present
the length of ribbon she used is 6 feeet
so lets name the length of the ribbon she had originally as X
the fraction of X she used was - 3/8 of X
so we can write the following equation
when of function is used we multiply
3X = 6*8
3X = 48
X = 16
therefore length of the original ribbon piece Nicole had was 16 feet
80 percent of the number 95 is 76.
We have,
Let the number = M
80% can be written as.
= 80/100
= 0.8
Now,
0.8 x M = 76
Solve for M.
0.8 x M = 76
M = 76/0.8
M = 760/8
M = 95
Thus,
80 percent of the number 95 is 76.
