Question

This number is equal to the sum of 52% of 86 and 35% of 52
Please explain your answer

Answer 1

For this problem, we'll use two proportions:

THE FIRST PROPORTION:

x/86 = 52/100

100x = 4472

x = 44.72


THE SECOND PROPORTION:

x/52 = 35/100

100x = 1820

x = 18.2


FINAL ADDITION:

18.2 + 44.72 = 62.92

The answer is 62.92




Hope this helps!! :)
