Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we know that this process happened 3 times in total. The original amount of kids we can call x, so the next wave filled in the gaps inbetween, so we call that amount x-1, the next wave would be (x+x-1)-1 or 2x-2, and the last would be 4x-4

adding this all up we get 8x-7=49, so 8x = 56 or x = 7

slava [35]
Okay 39 is 150% of what number? so like remember whenever you see percent you have to divide by 100
so let's start
First. we have 150% so let's divide 150%/100=1.5

Second. you will multiply 1.5*39= 26% 

and you can also do it like easy way.

39/150=0.26
0.26/100=26

39 is 26% of 150

Ms. Coleman's class has already collected 403 cans for a food drive, but the class wants to collect a total of at least 1,000 ca
pochemuha
We need to figure out how many more cans they need to bring.  We figure this out by subtracting 403 from 1,000, which gives us 596 more cans.  We now divide 596/28, to find how many each student would need to bring.  This equals 21.3.  You might want to mention that each student can't bring .3 of a can, so the answer could be 22 also.
