When Elon Musk set up Tesla’s factory in China, he made a bet that brought him cheap parts and capable workers — a bet that made him ultrarich and saved his company.
Mara Hvistendahl, an investigative reporter for The Times, explains why, now, that lifeline may have given China the tools to beat Tesla at its own game.

Fractions, Decimals and Percentages - Short Problems. This is part of our collection of Short Problems. You may also be interested in our longer problems on Fractions, Decimals and Percentages. Printable worksheets containing selections of these problems are available here.
Rational number word problems. In these tutorials, we'll explore the number system. We'll convert fractions to decimals, operate on numbers in different forms, meet complex fractions, and identify types of numbers. We'll also solve interesting word problems involving percentages (discounts, taxes, and tip calculations).
Now in fractions, if you do the same thing to both the numerator and the denominator then the fraction can still be equivalent. So he moved the decimal 2 places to the right making the fraction 15000/25. After he did that he converted the fraction back into a division equation, and now he got 15000÷25 = ___. Hope this helped!
Percent problems. Google Classroom. A brand of cereal had 1.2 milligrams ( mg) of iron per serving. Then they changed their recipe so they had 1.8 mg of iron per serving. What was the percent increase in iron?
Solving with Equations. Percent problems can be solved by writing equations. An equation uses an equal sign (=) to show that two mathematical expressions have the same value. Percents are fractions, and just like fractions, when finding a percent (or fraction, or portion) of another amount, you multiply. The percent of the base is the amount.
Next: Fractions, Decimals and Percentages Practice Questions. The Corbettmaths Practice Questions on Percentages and Fractions.
From Fraction to Percentage. To convert a fraction to a percentage divide the top number by the bottom number, then multiply the result by 100%. Example: Convert 38 to a percentage. First divide 3 by 8: 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375. Then multiply by 100%: 0.375 × 100% = 37.5%. Answer: 38 = 37.5% .
Divide: 15/50 = 0.30. 15 = 50 x Original equation. 15 50 = 50 x 50 Divide both sides by 50. 15 50 = x Simplify right-hand side. x = 0.30 Divide: 15/50 = 0.30. But we must express our answer as a percent. To do this, move the decimal two places to the right and append a percent symbol. Thus, 15 is 30% of 50.

While we are on the topic of percentages, one example will be, the decimal 0.35, or the fraction \(\frac{7}{20}\), which is equivalent to 35 percent, or 35%. Solving Problems Based on Percentages By solving problems based on percentages, we can find the missing values and find the values of various unknowns in a given problem.
Step by step guide to solve percent problems In each percent problem, we are looking for the base, or part or the percent. Use the following equations to find each missing section.
Percent math problems with detailed solutions. Problems that deal with percentage increase and decrease as well as problems of percent of quantities. ... y = 30 and solve for x which the original price. x - 0.22 x = 30 0.78 x = 30 x = $38.5 Check the solution to this problem by reducing the origonal price found $38.5 by 22% and see if it gives $30.
Our selection of percentage worksheets will help you to find percentages of numbers and amounts, as well as working out percentage increases and decreases and converting percentages to fractions or decimals. Key percentage facts: 50% = 0.5 = ½. 25% = 0.25 = ¼. 75% = 0.75 = ¾.

First, recognize that 2479 is less than 3700, so the percentage value must also be less than 100%. Divide 2479 by 3700 and multiply by 100. 2479 ÷ 3700 × 100 = 67%. Calculating the Percentage a Whole Number is of Another Whole Number. Calculating the Percentage a Whole Number is of Another Whole Number (Percents from 1% to 99%) Calculating ...
A mixed number or a mixed fraction is a type of fraction which is a combination of both a whole number and a proper fraction. We express improper fractions as mixed numbers. For example, 5\(\frac{1}{3}\), 1\(\frac{4}{9}\), 13\(\frac{7}{8}\) are mixed fractions. Unit fraction. A unit fraction is a fraction with a numerator equal to one.
Now we will apply the concept of percentage to solve various real-life examples on percentage. Solved examples on percentage: 1. In an election, candidate A got 75% of the total valid votes. If 15% of the total votes were declared invalid and the total numbers of votes is 560000, find the number of valid vote polled in favour of candidate.

Solving Percent Problems: Percent Decrease. Finding the percent decrease in a number is very similar. To find the percent of decrease: Subtract the two numbers to find the amount of decrease. Using this result as the amount and the original number as the base, find the unknown percent.
There are three basic types of percent problems: Find a given percent of a given number. For example, find 25% of 640. Find a percent given two numbers. For example, 15 is what percent of 50? Find a number that is a given percent of another number. For example, 10% of what number is 12? Let's begin with the first of these types.
