To figure out how much is 3% of 100,000,000, let's first understand the language of the problem. In mathematics, "of" is a word that generally refers to multiplication. Knowing this, the problem now changes from "3% of 100000000" to "3% * 100000000:"
\(3\% * 100000000\) | In general, \(a\%=\frac{a}{100}\) |
\(\frac{3}{100}*\frac{100000000}{1}\) | Multiply the fractions together. |
\(\frac{300000000}{100}\) | Simplify the fraction |
\(3000000\) | |
Therefore, 3% of 100000000 is 3000000
This compound inequality is solved in a similar fashion as normal inequalities:
\(17<7p+3<38\) | First step is to subtract 3 on all sides. |
\(14<7p<35\) | Divide by 7 on all sides of the compound inequality. |
\(2 < p < 5\) | You're done! |
The solutions, if you are wondering, is any value for p that satisfies its current restraints of 2 < p < 5.
