Question

The tape diagram shows that Sanara gave 70 7070 haircuts this week. A tape diagram with one tape split into 10 equal parts. All 10 parts are shaded. A curved brace above the entire tape is labeled 70. A curved brace below the entire tape is labeled 100 percent. A tape diagram with one tape split into 10 equal parts. All 10 parts are shaded. A curved brace above the entire tape is labeled 70. A curved brace below the entire tape is labeled 100 percent. Complete the table to show different percentages of the haircuts.

Answer 1

To find the percentage of haircuts, multiply the total haircuts by the percentage desired in decimal form. For example, 7 haircuts represent 10% of the total 70 haircuts, and 63 haircuts represent 90% of the total.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves understanding percentages and calculating the actual numbers corresponding to given percentages of a total.

The tape diagram in the question indicates that Sanara gave 70 haircuts, which represents 100% of her haircuts for the week. To complete the table for different percentages, we perform calculations based on this total.

Percentage calculation: To find what number corresponds to a certain percentage, we multiply the total number of haircuts (70) by the percentage (in decimal form).

7 haircuts represent 10% of the total number of haircuts (70). (Because 7 is 1/10th of 70).

63 haircuts represent 90% of the total number of haircuts (because 63 is 9 times 7).
