N% x 1.60 = 6 (I turned it from English to math)
Can't move n% back two places to make it a decimal so I will move the number I am multiplying by n% back two places instead.
Here is a sample to show you why it works. .34 x 57 = 34 x .57
So
.016n = 6 (.016 is 1.60 decimal moved back two places)
Now divide both sides by .016
<u>.016</u>n = <u>6
</u><u />.016 .016 n = 375%
Why is the percent over 100% you might ask?
What % of 1.60 is 1.60 (Answer - all of it or 100%)
So What % of 1.60 is 6 - the number 6 being much bigger than 1.60, it is not surprising that the percent is more than 100.
What % of 1.60 is 1.60 - 100%
What % of 1.60 is 3.20 - 200% (notice that 3.20 is twice 1.60)
What % of 1.6 is 4.80 - 300% (notice that 4.80 is three times 1.60)
What % of 1.6 is 6.40 - 400% (notice that 6.40 is four times 1.60)
6 (the number in the problem) is just a bit less than 6.40 so 375% makes a lot a sense.

Answer:
around 6.6 years
Step-by-step explanation:
41,500=14,000*.45*x
41,500=6,300*x
41,000/6,300=x
6.5873=x
6.6=x

Answer:
;-;
Step-by-step explanation:
Let small cups = S
Large cups = L
They bought a total of 8 cups, so S + L = 8
Rewrite as S = 8-L (1st equation)
Then you also have
$3S + $5L = $30 (2nd equation)
Replace the S in the second equation with the first equation:
$3(8-L) + $5L = $30
Simplify:
24 - 3L + 5L = 30
Combine like terms:
24+2L = 30
Subtract 24 from both sides:
2L = 6
Divide both sides by 2:
L = 3
They bought 3 large cups
Since they bought a total of 8 cups, that means they bought 5 small cups ( 8-3=5)
Large = 3 cups, Small = 5 cups
