Using proportions, it is found that:

a) He has 24 videogames left.

b - I) He kept 15 videogames for himself.

b - II) The selling price of a videogame was of $800.

c) He received $15,200 from the sale of the videogames.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

Item a:

He has 3/5 of 40 videogames left, hence:

3/5 x 40 = 3 x 8 = 24.

He has 24 videogames left.

Item b:

He kept 5/8 of the 24 videogames, hence:

5/8 x 24 = 5 x 3 = 15.

He kept 15 videogames for himself.

He also sold 9 videogames for $7,200, hence the selling price of one of them is:

7200/9 = $800.

Item c:

Earned $7,200 plus 500 for 16, hence:

T = 7200 + 500 x 16 = $15,200.

He received $15,200 from the sale of the videogames.

What is the value of x?
lilavasa [31]

The little rectangle in the top right means the angle is a right angle which equals 90 degrees.

This also means all the other angles are also 90 degrees.

Solve for x:

2x+8 = 90

Subtract 8 from both sides:

2x = 82

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 82/2

x = 41

What is 52 divided by 8 incluing remainder?
joja [24]
8*6=48.  8*7=56.  So the highest multiplication you can go without exceeding the value of 52 is 8*6.  You then need to subtract 52 by 48 to find the remainder.  52-48=4.  So the answer would be 48 remainder 4
