Percentages Problem Walkthrough

What is 15% of 240?

Final Verified Result
36
1
Identify the formula

To find a percentage of a number, multiply the base value by the decimal form of the percentage: Part = Base × (Percentage / 100).

Part = 240 × (15 / 100)
2
Convert percentage to a decimal

Divide 15 by 100 to convert from percentage to decimal notation.

15 / 100 = 0.15
3
Multiply by the base value

Multiply 240 by 0.15 to calculate the numerical portion.

240 × 0.15 = 36
4
State the final answer

The calculated portion of 240 is 36.

36
5
Explain the result

10% of 240 is 24, and 5% is half of that (12). Adding 24 + 12 = 36, which confirms the mathematical calculation.

Algebra

Quadratic Formula

x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / (2a)

Derived by completing the square on the general quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0. It provides the exact algebraic solutions for all degree-2 polynomials.

Variable Definitions
a:Quadratic coefficient (coefficient of x², a ≠ 0)
b:Linear coefficient (coefficient of x)
c:Constant numerical term
b² - 4ac:Discriminant (Δ): >0 (2 real roots), =0 (1 real root), <0 (2 complex roots)
When to use: Use to find the exact roots (x-intercepts) of any quadratic equation in standard form ax² + bx + c = 0.

Geometry

Pythagorean Theorem

a² + b² = c²

A cornerstone of Euclidean geometry stating that the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse equals the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two legs.

Trigonometry

Law of Sines

a / sin(A) = b / sin(B) = c / sin(C)

Relates the ratios of the lengths of sides to the sines of their opposite angles in any planar triangle. Useful for surveying and navigation.

Trigonometry

Law of Cosines

c² = a² + b² - 2ab · cos(C)

A general generalization of the Pythagorean theorem applicable to any planar triangle. When angle C = 90°, cos(90°) = 0, reducing exactly to a² + b² = c².

Distance Formula (2D Cartesian)

d = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²)

Derived directly from the Pythagorean theorem by treating the horizontal difference (Δx) and vertical difference (Δy) as perpendicular triangle legs.

Midpoint Formula

M = ((x₁ + x₂) / 2, (y₁ + y₂) / 2)

Slope Formula

m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Measures the vertical change divided by the horizontal change ("rise over run"). A vertical line has an undefined slope where x₁ = x₂.

Area of a Circle

A = π · r²

Proven through integration and exhaustion methods, showing that circular area equals half the circumference times the radius: (2πr · r) / 2 = πr².

Area of a Triangle

A = (1/2) · b · h

Any triangle can be duplicated and reflected to form a parallelogram of base b and height h. Since parallelogram area is b · h, the triangle is exactly half.

Simple Interest Formula

I = P · r · t

Models linear non-compounding interest. Total future balance is calculated as A = P(1 + rt).

Compound Interest Formula

A = P · (1 + r/n)^(n·t)

Captures geometric exponential growth over discrete intervals. As n approaches infinity, it converges to continuous compounding A = P · e^(rt).

Statistics

Sample Standard Deviation

s = √[ ∑(x_i - x̄)² / (n - 1) ]

Uses Bessel’s correction (n - 1 in the denominator) to provide an unbiased estimator of the true population variance from a subset sample.

Statistics

Arithmetic Mean

x̄ = (∑ x_i) / n

The mathematical center of mass of a dataset. Sensitive to extreme skewed values or outliers, where median is often preferred.

Statistics

Permutations Formula (nPr)

nPr = n! / (n - r)!

Counts ordered sequences without replacement from a finite set of n distinct elements.

Statistics

Combinations Formula (nCr)

nCr = n! / [ r! · (n - r)! ]

Divides the permutation count by r! to eliminate duplicate arrangements of the same subset of items.

Algebra

Product of Powers Exponent Rule

a^m · a^n = a^(m + n)

Since a^m represents m factors of a and a^n represents n factors of a, multiplying them gives (m + n) total factors of a.

Logarithm Product & Quotient Rules

log_b(xy) = log_b(x) + log_b(y)

Logarithms are the inverses of exponential operations. The logarithm of a product equals the sum of the individual logarithms.

Concept Comparisons

11 Fundamental Mathematical Distinctions

Clear up commonly confused concepts in statistics, algebra, geometry, and probability with precise definitions and practical examples.

Mean vs Median

Key Distinction: Mean is heavily pulled by extreme outliers, whereas median remains robust and resistant to skew.

Concept A

Mean (Average)

The arithmetic sum of all numbers divided by the total count of values.

Concept B

Median (Middle Value)

The exact physical middle value when data is sorted in ascending order.

Concrete Example
For [2, 3, 4, 5, 100]: Mean = 22.8, while Median = 4.
When to Use Each
Use Mean for symmetrical distributions (e.g., test scores); use Median for skewed distributions (e.g., housing prices or personal incomes).
