Date: Class: 3. Calculate Remember that percentages are based on one-hundredths. The value 100% is equal to 100 one-hundredths or 100/100. The value 50% equals 50/100, which can also be written as the decimal 0.50. The value 5% equals 5/100 or 0.05. The value 0.5% equals 0.5/100 or 5/1000 or 0.005. Convert the following percentages into one-hundredths and then into a decimal: 75%, 20%, 0.8%. 4. Calculate Assume there are 1000 units of energy in the producer level of the energy pyramid. How many units of energy are available at each of the three consumer levels? Shov your calculations. Hint: First, change the percentages to decimals. 5. Calculate Suppose there are 500 units of energy available at the base of a pyramid of energy How many units of that energy will the first-level consumers store? How many units will th second-level consumers store? 6. Infer Why are there usually so few organisms at the top level of a pyramid of energy? lan

I am in mathmatics for liberal arts one and I am wondering what is the formula to find the percent of change

One of your friends missed class, and you are helping them get caught up.  Which of the following is the best explanation for the answer for the meaning of 2.45x? a. If you convert 2.45 to a percent, you get 245%.  So multiplying by 2.45 is an increase of 245%. b. 2.45x increases by 245% because x + 1.45x = 2.45x c. 2.45x is 1x + 1.45x, where 1x is 100% of x and 1.45x is 145% of x.  So you are adding 100% + 145%, which is an increase of 145% over the original 100% d. Think of 2.45x as a percent, so when you multiply by 2.45% you are actually decreasing x by 97.55%.

If 17 is increased to 21, the increase is what percent of the original number? (This is known as the percent change.) Answer = 19 X Write your resulting percent in decimal form with three decimal places of accuracy. Example: Write 2% as 0.02. Write 5.66% as 0.057.
