% means out of 100 so If its 6% that = .06 then just multiply
Answer: 6,160,000 db
Step-by-step explanation:
The sound of a jet engine is 70,000 times louder than that of a lawn mower.
Since we know the sound of a lawnmower, we can multiply that by 70,000 to find the sound of a jet engine:
= Sound of lawnmower * 70,000
= 88 * 70,000
= 6,160,000 db
Don't you have to multiply the Area's ?
Let:
x = Chemistry textbooks sold
y = Physics textbooks sold
The textbook store sold a combined total of 260, so:

The number of chemistry books sold was three times the number of physics textbooks sold, so:

Let:

Replace (2) into (1):

Replace the value of y into (2):
