Oh yes... Wonderful Proportions. There are ways to do proportions but this is how I learned how to do them :
PART %
=
WHOLE 100 That is the formula. I'm not sure of an example but I hope it helps
Answer:
a = - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given x = - 2 is a root then f(- 2) = 0
f(x) = x³ + x² + ax - 4, thus
f(- 2) = (- 2)³ + (- 2)² - 2a - 4 = 0, that is
f(- 2) = - 8 + 4 - 2a - 4 = 0, thus
- 8 - 2a = 0 ( add 8 to both sides )
- 2a = 8 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
a = - 4

Answer:
Paco contributed = 360pesos
Juan contributed = 504pesos
Question:
Two brothers gathered their money to buy a gift for their dad. Between them they gathered 864, which amount each contributed if Paco gave 5 pesos for every 7 that Juan gave.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the common factor between each brother = p
Paco gave = 5×common factor = 5p
Juan gave = 7×common factor = 7p
Total money contributed by both brothers = 864
Total money contributed by both brothers = 5p + 7p
5p + 7p = 864
12p = 864
p = 864/12
p = 72
Paco contributed = 5p = 5×72 = 360pesos
Juan contributed = 7p = 7×72 = 504pesos
