T(m+n)=ms
Tm+tn=ms
2tn/s=2m
First, define what it is that is being asked.
"of" in mathematics usually means that the numbers or values described are being multiplied.
And so the word problem becomes:
126 employees = 3% * x employees
Solve:
126 = .03 * x
x * .03 = 126
(x * .03) / .03 = 126 / .03
x = 4200 employees
Thus your answer is 4200 employees.
The and only reason why am we not are mejor
49m
21 = 3(3n - 5)
21 = 3(3n) - 3(5)
21 = 9n - 15
<u>+15 +15</u>
<u>36 </u>= <u>9n</u>
9 9
4 = n
.4 and .40 are indeed the same amount.
We usually drop the 0 in the 100'ths place when it is not necessary for indicating money or solving a problem with 2 decimals.
Also realize that .400 .4000 etc are all the same as well.
