10% of what number is 78?

x = 780

Step-by-step explanation: Well percent means over 100 so we can set up an equation for this problem by reading it from left to right.

So we know that 10% means 10/100, of means times, what number means x, is means equals, and 12 means 12.

Notice that 10/100 can be reduced to 1/10.

So rewriting our problem we have X/10 = 78.

To get rid of the fraction, we multiply both sides of the equation by 10 and we have x = 780. So, 10% of 780 is 78.

Now let's check our answer back in the original problem to see if it makes sense.

We have 10% of 780 is 78. Well we know that 100% of of 780 would be 780 so 10% of 780 should be alot less than 780 so 78 seems to make sense.

6.9

step-by-step explanation:

simple math really

6 1/2 times 0.6 = 3.9

but if you are just doing 6 and not 6 1/2 then the answer is 3.6

for this pair of functions g(x)=x-2 and f(x)=|x| is (g o f)(a)= |a| -2

step-by-step explanation:

g(x)=x-2

f(x)=|x|

(g o f)(a)=?

(g o f)(x)=g(f(x))

(g o f)(x)=g(|x|)

(g o f)(x)=|x|-2

(g o f)(a)=|a|-2
