What he's saying is that 7/8 of his ties + 4 ties = all of his ties.
7/8x + 4 = x
Thus, 4 is 1/8 of his ties.
4 = 1/8x
So you simply multiply 4 by 8 to get 32 ties.
32 = x
To check, plug 32 back into the original equation:
7/8(32) + 4 = (32)
28 + 4 = 32
It works!
Hope that helps.

School A has 480 students and 16 classrooms. School B has 192 students and 12 classrooms.
boyakko [2]

Answer:96

Step-by-step explanation:

A; 480/16 = 30 students per classroom

B: 192/12 =16 students per classroom

we need x such that \frac{480-x}{16} = \frac{192+x}{12}

which means

(480-x )* 12 should be equal to (192+x) * 16

5,760 - 12x = 3,072+16x

5,760 - 3,072 = 12x + 16x

2,688 = 28x

x = 96
