Given:
Serenity picked 75% of the apples of a tree in her backyard.
She picked 30 apples.
To find:
The number of apples on the tree in the beginning.
Solution:
Let x be the number of apples on the tree in the beginning.
Serenity picked 75% of the apples of a tree in her backyard.
Number of apples picked = 75% of x
= 
= 
She picked 30 apples.

Multiply both sides by 4.


Divide both sides by 3.


Therefore, the number of apples on the tree in the beginning is 40.
Answer:
2 < x < 5
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>< This symbol means 'less than'</u>. The number you put on its left side is less than the number on its right side.
<u>> This symbol means 'greater than'</u>. The number put on its left is greater than its number on the right.
Think of them like a mouth. Remember the 'open side' wants to eat more.
Translate words to symbols:
'x is less than 5'
x < 5
'x is greater than 2'
x > 2
Put them together. The < and > symbols change directions, but x on the closed side of 5. Keep x on the open side of 2.
2 < x < 5
Don't confuse < and > with ≤ and ≥.
≤ and ≥ mean 'less than OR equal to' and greater than OR equation to'.
A $0.85 x 2= amount for shipping.
B $0.85-0.05 = total cost for each pound
so the equation would be.
$0.85-0.05 = 0.8
0.8x2 = cost for 2 pounds of toys shipped
1.60 is the cost for 2 pounds hope this helped
