Twenty-seven is 25% of

Well...

27 = 25% (1/4) × a

27 = 1/4a

a = 27 x 4 = 108

108

Let's firs rewrite this problem to say 27 is 25% of what number.

Reading through the problem we have 27 is, that's 27 equals,

25%, 25/100, of, times, what number, x.

Notice about that I put 25% as the fraction 25/100. This is because percent means over 100 so 25% means 25 over 100 or 25/100.

So now, our equation reads 27 = 25/100 · X.

Reducing the 25/100 to 1/4, we have 27 = 1x/4.

Multiplying both sides by 4 to get rid of the fraction, we have 108 = 1x.

Divide both sides by 1 to isolate x and we find that 108 = x.

So, 27 is 25% of 108.

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3
