How do i turn 80% 0f 86- i know the answer but i don't know how to do it Can someone please teach me

We know that of refers to multiplication (from BODMAS)

% means per hundred, i.e., 1/100

So, 80% of 86 is:

(80/100) × 86

or (4/5) × 86

or 4 × 17.2

or 68.8

Hope you understand

68.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be 80% of 86.

To find 80% of 86

Or you can simply do it as:

-4

step-by-step explanation:

do 6-10=

if u need it to be negative.

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
