proportion. Make sure to answer in a complete sentence. Round to the whole

number if necessary.





Tyler and Ilan scored 48% of their team’s points in the math

competition. If they scored 84 points, what was the team’s total score?

Answer 1

Tyler and llan scored 24 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Another way to state this problem is what is 48% of 50.

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore 48% can be written as

48

100

.

When dealing with percents the word "of" means "times" or "to multiply".

Finally, lets call the number we are looking for "n".

Putting this altogether we can write this equation and solve for n

while keeping the equation balanced:

n=48,100 × 50

n = 24,001,00

n= 24
