Answer:
by dividing and subtracting
Step-by-step explanation:
Percent formula : is/of = %/100
18 is what percent of 20...
is = 18
of = 20
% = x
sub and solve
18/20 = x/100
cross multiply
(20)(x) = (100)(18)
20x = 1800
x = 1800/20
x = 90 <=== so 18 is 90% of 20
By finding the proportional relation between x and y, we will see that when x = 16, we have y = 32.
<h3>How to get the value of y when x = 16?</h3>
If y varies directly with x, then we can write the relation as:
y = k*x
Where k is the constant of proportionality.
First, we know that when x = 4, we have y = 8, replacing that we get:
8 = k*4
Solving for k, we get:
k = 8/4 = 2.
Then the relation between x and y is:
y = 2*x
When x = 16, we have:
y = 2*16 = 32
Then the correct option is a.
