Hey!

We could write the problem like this,
\frac{7}{8}=\frac{21}{x}
Cross multiply!
7x=8\cdot \:21
We know that 8\cdot \:21=168, let's plug that in.
7x=168
Divide both sides by 7.
\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{168}{7}

Our final answer would be,
x=24

Thanks!

Landon scored an 85% on his test. If he got 34 problems correct, how many were on the test?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

There are 40 problems on the test

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p = the number of problems on the test

The number of problems on the test times the percent correct is the number correct

p * 85% = 34

p * .85 = 34

Divide each side by .85

p * .85/.85 = 34/.85

p = 40

There are 40 problems on the test

Which is better to buy 14 rolls of paper towels for $18
Feliz [49]

In order to find out what deal is better:

  • We have to find the unit rate for each deal

  • Total amount of paper towels ÷ The price

So it would be....

  • 18 ÷ 14 = 1.285714
  • 12 ÷ 10 = 1.2

Short Answer:

The better deal is 10 rolls of paper towels for $12.

Long Answer:

I wanted to find out the price per roll of paper towel for each deal so I created a unit rate problem which is the numerator divided by the denominator. From there, I was able to get my answers, compare which one was less than the other, and select the best deal.

Hopefully this helped >-<
