Answer:
a).1000/400*100
= (1000*100)/400
= 100000/400 = 250
b).600
Explanation:
a). Percentage solution with steps:
Step 1: We make the assumption that 400 is 100 % since it is our output value.
Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with x.
Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100 % = 400.
Step 4: In the same vein, x % = 1000 .
Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:
100 % = 400(1).
x % = 1000(2).
Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS
(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have
100 % / x % = 400/1000
Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields
x/100 = 1000/400
x = 250 %
Therefore, 1000 is 250 % of 400.
b) $1000-$400= 600
= $400+$600=$1000
