What will any number times 100% equal? why?

Any number times 100% will equal itself.

Let's say you were trying to find out what 100% of 2,000 was. The answer would be 2,000. You'd have to divide 100% by 100 to make it multipliable. 100 divided by 100 is 1. This means in any scenario, the answer would always be the number being multiplied by 100%.

I hope this helps!

Ok, since y varies inversely as x , the equation is y=k/x Then you plug in 2 for y and 25 for x to find K After that you get K= 50 Then plug in 50 for K and 40 for y then solve for x After that you get X= 1.25 :)
