Tom earns $3200 a month. He pays $950 to rent an apartment. What percent of Tom’s income does he pay

Sagot :

Hey there!

Answer:

336.84%

3200 out of 950 is 336.84%

Solution:

3200 out of 950 is what %?

3200 out of 950 is P%

Equation: Y/X = P%

Solving our equation for P

P% = Y/X

P% = 3200/950

p = 3.3684

Convert decimal to percent:

P% = 3.3684 * 100 = 336.84%

well, if we take 3200 to be the 100%, what is 950 off of it in percentage?

[tex]\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 3200 & 100\\ 950& x \end{array} \implies \cfrac{3200}{950}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{64}{19}=\cfrac{100}{x} \\\\\\ 64x=1900\implies x=\cfrac{1900}{64}\implies x = 29.6875[/tex]
