22 is 40% of what number? A) 44 B) 55 C) 64 D) 88

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

When working with percents, the word "is" means "equals". We can use this to make an equation. The decimal form of 40% is 0.4. Our number will be represented by the variable n.

22=0.4n

Flip equation around so n is on the left (you don't have to do this, but I like having the variable on the left)

0.4n=22

We divide both sides by 0.4

n=55

Therefore, your answer is B) 55.

Have a wonderful day! :D

55 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

Is means equals and of means multiply

22 = 40% * x

Change to decimal form

22 = .40x

Divide each side by .40

22/.40 = .40x/.40

55 =x

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
