    My way of doing this in the day to day would be dividing 15 by 4 to get 1% of X then multiply that by 100. Most of my math solutions are situational. Doesn't work for everything but good enough for quick use. You could also just recognize that twenty-five "fours" equal 100 and multiply 15 x 25.

    Solved mostly in my head (used calculator for the final multiplication), my answer is 375. 1) ( 4 / 100 ) * x = 15 -- rewrite the percentage as a fraction. 2) (1 / 25 ) * x = 15 -- simplify the fraction 3) x = 15 * 25 -- multiply both sides by the denominator 4) x = 375. -- result.

    Greetings. The answer is 375. The answer is determined as follows. 4X/100=15. That is 4X=1,500 and 4X/4=1,500/4, X=375.

  • @KathrynLiz1

    I did it by using the percentage.... 4% is one twentyfifth, so X must be 25 x 15 (for mental arithmetic 250 + 125) which is 375....

  • @garyinla4807
    @garyinla48073 күн бұрын

    Convert English to Math-ish: 4% is .04 "of" means multiply " a number" is the unknown, I'll call it "n" "is" means equal and 15 is, well, 15 So you have .04n = 15 Divide both sides by .04 and your answer is 375. It's easy when you write it down but my students hate to pick up a pencil and would rather just punch numbers into a calculator. They do poorly on tests when they won't write.

    I solved this using proportions, the only math I have used consistently for 35 years. 4/100 = 15/x. 1500/4= 375.

  • @Kualinar
    @Kualinar2 күн бұрын

    4% can be written as 4/100. Simplify that and we get 1/25. So, 15 is 1 25th of x. So, we just need to multiply by 25 : 15 * 25 = 375. It is also possible to divide : 4% = 0.04. 15/0.04 = 375.

    Mental math for me is to find 10% then multiply by 10 by shifting the decimal. 4%=15 8%=30 10%=37.5 100%=375

    You can avoid the division if you recognize that 4% is 1/25. 15 ×25 = oh, that's hard to do in my head 15 = 10 + 5 10×25= 250 5×25= 125 250 + 125 = 375

    You have to know 4% is 0.04, the word “of” means multiply, and the word “is” means equals.
