Question

There are 12800 films on Netflix. 9% of the films are horror. How many films are horror?

Answer 1

1152

Explanation:

Step 1: Our output value is 9.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1 above,$9=100\%$.

Step 4: Similarly, $x=12800\%$.

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

$9=100\%(1)$.

$x=12800\%(2)$.

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{9}{x}=\frac{100\%}{12800\%}$

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

$\frac{x}{9}=\frac{12800}{100}$

$\Rightarrow x=1152$

Therefore, $12800\%$ of $9$ is $1152$

this took a really long time

Answer 2

1152

Explanation:

You multiply the 12800 films by 9% to get your answer.
