What is 75% of 162? Show your work and/or explain your reasoning.

121.5

Step-by-step explanation:

75% =  75/100

Step 2 - Mutiply percenatge fraction by the entire (100%) quantity

75/100× 162 = 121.5

Final result

75 percent of 162 is 121.5

The solutions are , and

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a system which is formed by the following equations :

A solution to this system is a pair (x,y) that satisfies both equations.

In order to solve this exercise, we need to take each pair (x,y) and replace it in both equations. If the pair checks both equations therefore the pair (x,y) is a solution of the system.

The first pair is

If we replace it in both equations :

and also

⇒

The pair (-1,5) satisfies both equations ⇒ It is a solution for the system.

The next pair is

Replacing :

⇒

We find that it does not satisfy the first equation and therefore it can not be a possible solution to the system.

Now with

Replacing in the equations of the system :

⇒

This pair satisfies both equations ⇒ The pair is a solution of the system.

Now with

If we replace in the equations of the system :

 ⇒

This pair satisfies the first equation but it does not satisfy the second one ⇒ It is not a solution of the system

The fifth pair is

Using the equations of the system :

and

⇒

This pair verifies both equations ⇒ The pair is a solution of the system.

The final pair

Replacing in the equations

⇒

This inequality is wrong. Therefore the pair it is not a solution of the system.

We conclude that the pairs , and are solutions of the system above.
