This problem is quite difficult if you don't remember a technique to solving it.
I will help teach you this tactic.
First, set the percentage over 100, which is 48/100 as a fraction (which is what "over 100" means).
Now, put 12 over x, which is the total amount of students in the class. It should look like this: 12/x.
Now that we've done this, set them up as a proportion.
Your proportion should be:
12/x = 48/100
This is where it becomes a little confusing if you do not remember this correctly.
Cross multiply the denominator (the bottom number of a fraction) of 12/x by the numerator (the top number of a fraction) of 48/100.
This number should be:
48x.
Now, cross multiply the denominator of 48/100 by the numerator of 12/x.
This number should be:
1200.
Our equation now is:
48x = 1200.
To solve for this, divide both sides by 48 to solve for x.
48x / 48 = x
1200 / 48 = 25.
Your equation and solved problem is:
There are 25 total students.
I hope this taught you something and I hope it's very helpful!

Solve the system of equations x+y=-8 and -9x-6y=60 by combining the equations
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

x = - 4    y = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y= - 8

-9x-6y=60

First, solve for x in the first equation:

x+y = - 8       Subtract y from both sides

x + y - y = -8 - y    y cancels on the left

x = - 8 - y

Now plug in what you found for x into the 2nd equation and solve for y.

- 9x - 6y = 60

-9(- 8 - y) - 6y = 60   Multiply out

72 + 9y - 6y = 60

72 + 3y = 60  Subtract 72 from both sides

72 - 72 + 3y = 60 - 72    72 cancels on the left

3y = - 12     Divie both sides by 3

3y/3 = -12/3     3 cancels on the left because 3/3 = 1

y = -4

Now plug your answer for y back into the first equation to get x.

x + y = -8

x + (-4) = - 8  Add 4 to each side

x - 4 + 4 = - 8 + 4   4 cancels on the left

x = -4

x = - 4 and y = - 4

James has eight coins in his pocket. All the coins are either dimes or quarters.The total value of the coins is $1.25. How many
Goshia [24]

Answer:

he has 5d+3q

Step-by-step explanation:

since every d is .10 and every q is .25 the equation can be changed to 5(.10)+3(.25) which is equal to .5+.75 which adds up to 1.25

i did this by assuming that the amount of d is 8 at first, then change one of the 8 d to a q which will give you 7d+q, then assume another d is a q which will give you 6d+2q, repeat this until the amount of d and q add up to 1.25
