Write an algebraic expression for:
44%ofanumberis120
Define our algebraic expression:
A math expression containing any of the following items:
- Constants (A numeric value that does not change like 5)
- Variables (A letter used to represent a quantity like x)
- Operations (Add (+), Subtract (-), Multiply (*), Divide (÷), Exponent (^), Equation (=))
A Number means a random variable
We will call it x
Using our percent to decimal calculator, we see that 44% percent as a decimal is 0.44Evaluate the phrase %of
Multiply the variable x by the term 0.44
0.44x
Evaluate the phrase Is
Set the constant 120 equal to the term 0.44x
0.44x = 120
Final Answer
0.44x = 120
