20 is 40 percent of??? please need answer

x = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original number.

This question can be expressed as:

0.4x = 20

0.4 of the original number is 20.

Now, we can directly solve for x:

4x = 200

x = 50

hey! so 1 (25) out of 4 (100) is 25 so your answer is 25%. it's like quarters!

85.560%

step-by-step explanation:

conditional probability is defined as:

p(a|b) = p(a∩b) / p(b)

in other words, the probability that a occurs, given that b has occurred = the probability that both a and b occur / the probability that b occurs.

in this example:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64 & turns 44) / p(turns 44).

if someone turns 64, they must have already turned 44, so:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64) / p(turns 44)

on page 42, we see that of the original 100,000, 94944 turn 44, and 81234 turn 64.   therefore:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 81234 / 94944

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 0.85560
