Answer:
x = 5.01%
y = 11.1
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{percent}{base} = \frac{rate}{100}[/tex]
Model:
50% of 120 is 60
Rate (%) = 50
Base (of) = 120
Percent (is, part) = 60
Thus, x in the first problem is the rate.
[tex]\frac{3.006}{60} =\frac{x}{100}[/tex]. Cross multiply, and we get:
x = 5.01
To check, multiply 5.01% × 60 = 3.006
For the second problem, multiply 10% with 111 to get the percent, which is 11.1
