So we know he made 4,650 of sales and we need 2.5% of that
First to find 2.5% of 4650 we could do
x/4650 = 2.5/100
Cross multiply to get
100x = 11625
x = 116.25
So his salary for this week would be 225 + 116.25 = 341.25
This year
2:7
18:?
well 2*9=18
so 7*9=63
18/63
(18+63=total 81 students)
Last year
1/8
multiply by 9
9/72
9 less students this year
Solve for x:
1.
4x - 7 = 3
Add 7 to both sides
4x = 10
Divide both sides by 4
x = 10/4
Simplify:
x = 5/2
Answer for question 1: x = 5/2
2.
13 + 2x/3 = 15
Multiply both sides by 3
39 + 2x = 45
Subtract 39 from both sides
2x = 6
Divide both sides by 2
x = 3
Answer for question 2: x = 3
3.
10x + 7 = 15
Subtract 7 from both sides
10x = 8
Divide both sides by 10
x = 8/10
Simplify
x = 4/5
Answer for question 3: x = 4/5
