30%of what number is 72

240

Step-by-step explanation:

30%of what number is 72

of means multiply and is means equals

30% * W = 72

Change the percent to a decimal

.30 *W = 72

Divide each side by .30

.30W/.30 = 72/.30

W =240

The number is 240

Answer is 240

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the missing number be p, therefore, we can write the equation as:

30% of p = 72

= 30 /100 × p = 72

0.3p = 72

Divide both sides by 0.3

p = 72/0.3

p = 240

Thus 30% of 240 = 72

b. x- 48 =120

step-by-step explanation:

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
