Use the percent proportion
21 x
—— = ——
100 300
to solve :
21 x 300 = 6300
6300 ÷ 100 = 63
Answer = 63 of Elmer’s shells are fossilized snail shells :)
For this case we have the following type of equations:
Quadratic equation:

Linear equation:

We observe that when equating the equations we have:

Rewriting we have:

We obtain a polynomial of second degree, therefore, the maximum number of solutions that we can obtain is 2.
Answer:
The greatest number of possible solutions to this system is:
c.2
Answer: 35.7%
Step-by-step explanation:
140$ / 100% = 1.4$ per 1%
Next 50$ / 1.4% = 35.71
Round 35.71 to closest tenth so it would be 35.7
A variable next to any number means to multiply, so we would do the inverse operation -- We would divide 0.48 by 0.6, which is 0.8. Therefore, W=0.48. To check your work, multiply 0.6 by 0.8, and what do you know? It's 0.48! :)
