The answer is 48 because 1.6 times 30 is 48
Please, proofread your problem statements before posting them. Your "If 1,600 people live 25% of the population how many people need to leave" should be written as "<span>If the whole population is 1,600 and 25% of them need to leave, how many must leave?"
0.25(1600) = 400
400 people need to leave. This is 25% of the entire population, or 25% of 1600 people. Please note: it's "leave," not "live."</span>
The key to solving this problem is to represent the four consecutive numbers correctly. They are x, x+1, x+2 and x+3. Add them up and equate the sum to 86.
Answer:
81
Step-by-step explanation:
12/3 = 4
4 - 2 = 2
x = 2
using the order of operations, you would first have to do y + 3
y = 12
12 + 3 = 15
the equation simplified is 3 x 2 + 5 x 15
3 x 2 = 6
5 x 15 = 75
75 + 6 = 81
