35 divided by 16 - 9 - Office Equipment & Supplies

Without the use of a calculator
12/16 can be simplified as a fraction by dividing
the top and bottom by the common denominator 4
4/4
to get 3/4
if you divide 100 by 4 (as you multiply x 100 to get the percentage) you get 25 , as there are 3 1/4 in 3/4 25 x 3 get you a percentage of 75%
if you used a calculator you would divide 12/16 and multiply by 100 and get the same answer

Let's rewrite as

7(3x+5) = 8x -1(1-4x)
Let's distribute
21x + 35 = 8x -1 + 4x
collect like terms
21x + 35 = 12x -1
Put all the x's on one side by subtracting 12x from both sides
21x -12x + 35 = 12x -1 -12x
simplify
9x + 35 = -1
get all the constants on the right side
9x + 35 - 35 = -1 - 35
9x = -36
divide both sides by 9 to get x by itself
9x /9 = -36/9
x = -4

check in original equation

7(3(-4)+5) = 8(-4) -(1-4(-4))
7(-12+5) = -32 - (1+16)
7 (-7) = -32 - (17)
-49 = -32-17
-49 = -49

5/16 as a percentage is,
0.3125*100-
31.25%

divide .95 by the .35 to get the multiplying agent to get .95
ie .9 divided by .35 = 2.7142857
so multiply .35 X 2.7142857 will give you .95

Which are you looking for?

245 divided by 35 = 7
35 divided by 245 = 0.1428571428571429

Divide (60-16) by 16 then multiply by 100.

Multiply 35 by the percentage then divide by 100. 100% of 35 is 35, 50% of 35 is 17.5 .

If the boards are1x you multiply the length by the width then divide by 144 which is 1 board foot. Example: a 1x6 16 foot long, 6x12" which is 1 foot 72"x16=1152" divided by 144=8 board feet. If you had a 2x8 12' ,you would multiply8x12=96x2=192x12'=2304 divided by 144=16 board feet.

135 is 35% more than the original, or 135% of the original number. To get from 135 to the original number, you need to divide by 1 plus 35% or 1.35. Dividing 135 by 1.35 will give you the original 100.

Reducing 135 by 35% reduces by 35% of 135, not 35% of 100.
