1. We assume, that the number 320 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task. 
<span>2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for. </span>
<span>3. If 320 is 100%, so we can write it down as 320=100%. </span>
<span>4. We know, that x is 45% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=45%. </span>
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 320=100%
2) x=45%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
320/x=100%/45%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 45% of 320

320/x=100/45
<span>(320/x)*x=(100/45)*x       - </span>we multiply both sides of the equation by x
<span>320=2.22222222222*x       - </span>we divide both sides of the equation by (2.22222222222) to get x
<span>320/2.22222222222=x </span>
<span>144=x </span>
x=144

<span>now we have: </span>
<span>45% of 320=144</span>

Well the percent sign, %, literally means out of 100. So, you are multiplying like this:
.45 • 320
=
144

The sum of two numbers is 72. One number is 8
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

32 and 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the smaller number x. If the smaller number is x, the equation for this problem is 2x + 8 = 72

Equation:

2x + 8 = 72

2x = 64

x = 32

So now we know the smaller number is 32, so now add 8 and we get 40.

Therefore the 2 numbers are 32 and 40

Henri has $24,000 invested in stocks and bonds. The amount in stocks is $6,000 more than three times the amount in bonds. How mu
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

<u>The amount of investment in bonds is US$ 4,500 and the amount of investment in stocks is US$ 19,500</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Total investment in stocks and bonds = US$ 24,000

Amount of investment in bonds = x

Amount of investment in stocks = 3x + 6,000 (amount in stocks is $6,000 more than three times the amount in bonds)

For finding the value of x (amount of investment in bonds), we use this equation:

x + 3x + 6,000 = 24,000

x + 3x = 24,000 - 6,000

4x = 18,000

x = 4,500 (dividing by 4)

<u>The amount of investment in bonds is US$ 4,500</u>

Now let's find the amount of investment in stocks:

3x + 6,000 = 3 (4,500) + 6,000 = 13,500 + 6,000 = 19,500

<u>The amount of investment in stocks is US$ 19,500</u>
