Answer: F / 0.15 = 100F / 15 = 20F / 3 ≈ 6.67F.
Explanation:
1) The three expresssions, F / 0.15; 15 F / 100; 3F / 20; are equivalent.
2) The number of figurines Kat owned last year may be expressed in terms of the number the of figurines purchased, F, this year, and the 15%, following this procedure:
- Call n the amount of figurines owned last year.
- F is the number of figurines purchased: F = 15%n = 0,15n
- Hence, you just need to clear F from the expression F = 0.15n
- Divide both sides by 0.15:
F / 0.15 = n or n = F / 0.15 (reflexive property)
- To prove the equialavence of the other expresssions you just have to use the properties of multiplication or division:
(F / 0.15) × (100 / 100) = 100F / 15
100F / 15 = (100/5)F / (15/5) = 20F / 3 ≈ 6.67F
75.25x + 3604 = 300.50x
300.50x - 75.25x = 3604
225.25x = 3604
x = 16
Both companies charged the same at 16 tons
first answer 16 tons
--------------------
300.50x = 300.50(16) = $4,808
both companies charged the same are $4,808
second answer is $4,808
The first one is the best answer
Hey You!
60 * 79% = 47.4
You can solve it by:
(60 ÷ 100 × 79 = 47.4)
Sam will make 47.4 of his throws.
