There were 6954 cases filed with the Supreme Court. Of these only 82 were decided by the Supreme Court. What percentage was decided by the Supreme Court

Total no. of cases = 6954

No. of cases decided = 82

Percentage decided = (82/6954)x100 = 1.17%

1.18%

Step-by-step explanation:

A percentage can be found by dividing the part by the whole. then multiplying by 100.

(part/whole) * 100

In this problem, the part is the cases decided by the Supreme Court. The whole is the total number of cases filed.

(cases decided / cases filed) *100

There were 82 cases decided by the Supreme Court, out of a total of 6,954 cases filed.

(82/6954) *100

First, solve the parentheses and divide.

0.0117917745* 100

Multiply

1.17917745 %

Round to the nearest hundredth. The 9 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 7 up to an 8 in the hundredth place.

1.18 %

About 1.18% of the cases filed were decided by the Supreme Court.

the central idea is that:

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes.
