Remark

Reading the problem is more than 1/2 the trouble you will have with this question.

Start phrase by phrase.  Let the number = x

The first phrase is 8 times a number so that is 8x

increased by 9. So that is 8x + 9

exceeds 7 times the number 8x + 9 - 7x

by 15 (translate that to equals 15)

Equation

8x + 9  -  7x = 15      Combine like terms.

x + 9 = 15                  Subtract 9

x = 15 - 9

x = 6

Turn it into math terms bit by bit. let x be "a number"

8 times a number is 8×x

increased by 9 is +9

7 times a number is 7×x

exceeds is minus

by 15 is =15

now we put it together.

8 \times x + 9 - 7 \times x = 15
solve
8x + 9 - 7x = 15 \\ x + 9 = 15 \\ x = 6

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

y =  \frac{1}{2} x + 1 \\

Multiply sides by 2

2 \times y = 2 \times ( \frac{1}{2} x + 1) \\

2y =( 2 \times  \frac{1}{2} x) + (2 \times 1) \\

2y = x + 2

x + 2 = 2y

Subtract sides 2

x + 2 - 2 = 2y - 2

x = 2y - 2

Done...

Which fraction is equivalent to 38%?<br> 3/8<br> 9/25<br> 19/50<br> 3 4\5
KonstantinChe [14]
In order to find a fraction, We know that a percentage is out of a 100. This means we can now place our fraction as:

38/100

In order to find the actual fraction, we will want to simplify. Lets find our least common factor and work down from there. Since we know that 2 can go into both of them, lets reduce by 2.

This means our fraction will now look like: 

19/50

Since 19 is a prime number and cannot be divided by anything but 1 and itself, we know that this is our simplified form. 

This means:

19/50 is the fraction equivalent to 38%.
