Answer: the answer is A:3 I just took the test
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets x to be number of students.
1) If each students get 3 ml, then all students get 3x ml.
There was n ml.
(n-3x) ml leftover
n - 3x = 5
2) If each students get 4 ml.
then all students get 4x ml.
n+21 = 4x
3)
n - 3x = 5
- (n+21 = 4x) -------> -n -21=-4x
n - 3x = 5
<span>-n -21= - 4x
</span>-3x-21=5 - 4x
x=5+21
x=26
Answer : 26 students
Check:
x=26, n-3x = 5, n-3*26=5, n=83
n+21 = 4x
83+21=4*26
104 = 104 true
The answer is 75 and here's why.
Let's figure out the amount of remaining votes to prove this.
250 total votes - 150 votes for candidate a = 100 votes.
minus ↑ sign
Candidate B received 25% of the votes, so let's find<u> 25% of 100</u>
<u>100 * 0.25 = 25 votes</u>
Candidate B only got 25 votes (that's kinda sad, poor guy)
<u>100 - 25 votes = the # of votes candidate C got </u>
Candidate C got 75 votes!
Essentially, we must take 5% of $1250. When we drop the percent sign, we move the decimal 2 places to the left, giving .05. Then "of" means multiply. We take $1250 and multiply times .05, giving
<span>$62..50 </span>
<span>Another way to do it is to take 10%, or $125. </span>
<span>Then 5% is half of that. Half of $125 is $62.50 We can do that by dividing $125 by 2. I did it in my head. Others might do it on paper. Still others might have a calculator handy and say $125 divided by 2 on the calculator. We should all get the same answer unless one person spaces out or is tired. It happens!</span>
