Answer:

$575

Step-by-step explanation:

100-24 = 76

76% of x = $437

76/100 * x = 437

76x = 43700

x = 43700/76 = $575

Mila [183]

Step-by-step explanation:

P and Q can do the whole work in 12 hours.

so, in 1 hour they can do 1/12.

P and R can do in 1 hour 1/15.

Q and R can do in 1 hour 1/20.

mathematically that looks like

P + Q = 1/12

P + R = 1/15

Q + R = 1/20

P + Q + R = 1/x

together they can do 1/x of the work in 1 hour.

it will take them x hours, if all 3 worked together.

from the first equation we get

P = 1/12 - Q

that gives us in the second equation

1/12 - Q + R = 1/15

R = 1/15 - 1/12 + Q = 4/60 - 5/60 + Q = Q - 1/60

but from the 3rd equation we get also

R = 1/20 - Q

so,

Q - 1/60 = 1/20 - Q

2Q = 1/20 + 1/60 = 3/60 + 1/60 = 4/60

Q = 2/60 = 1/30

R = Q - 1/60 = 2/60 - 1/60 = 1/60

P = 1/12 - Q = 1/12 - 2/60 = 5/60 - 2/60 = 3/60 = 1/20

so, we get for the sum :

P + Q + R = 3/60 + 2/60 + 1/60 = 6/60 = 1/10

that means in 1 hour they can do together 1/10 of the work.

so, together they will need 10 hours to paint the fence.

Help on theese 2 for brainly tell me why we need to regroup

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

You will need to regroup because 2/3 is less than 3/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

DON'T IGNORE THIS PART!!!

Let's find the common denominator for 10 2/3 and 6 3/4.

$10 \frac{2}{3} - 6 \frac{3}{4}$

What is the least common multiple for 3 and 4? Well, let's make a list that would help!

Multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21...

Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28...

What is the first multiple that 3 and 4 matches with? It is 12!

Now, let's convert the fractions.

$10 \frac{2}{3} - 6 \frac{3}{4}$ = $10 \frac{8}{12} - 6 \frac{9}{12}$

Woah! How do you subtract 9/12 from 8/12? Don't worry--there is a solution to this problem! And--it is... regrouping!

You have to add a whole to 8/12. This means that you have to add 8/12 + 12/12, which is 20/12. And--you will have to subtract one from ten.

$9 \frac{20}{12} - 6 \frac{9}{12}$

Now, that should be way easier to subtract!
