Write the sentence as a proportion. Then solve the proportion. 22 is to 50
as x is to 500

Answer 1

x = 220

Explanation:

22/50 = x/500

50x = 22 * 500

Divide both sides by 50.

x = 22 * 10

x = 220

Answer 2

220

Explanation:

22 : 50 = x : 500

Product of means = product of extremes

50 *x = 22 *500

x =
`(22*500)/(50)`

x = 22 * 10

x = 220
