Answer:

500 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the total number of grams of the sample is x. We know that 30% of x is salt and we also know this quantity is 150 grams. So, we can write this as:

30% * x = 150

Remember that % is simply "out of 100", so 30% = 30/100 = 0.30. Then:

0.30 * x = 150

Divide both sides by 0.30:

x = 500 grams

Hope this helps!

Can someone help? I know the volume can someone help with the surface area?
TEA [102]
To find the surface area you will find the area of each flat surface or each face.


The faces are in the shape of a rectangle , so multiply the length by the width.

A = lw
Front/ Back-3 1/2 x 3 1/3 = 11 2/3 ft.²

Sides- 3 1/3 x 3 1/3 = 11 1/9 ft.²

Top/bottom - 3 1/2 x 3 1/3= 11 2/3 ft.²

Add together to get the total surface area.

11 1/9+11 1/9+11 2/3+11 2/3+11 2/3+11 2/3 = 68 8/9 ft.²

The total surface area is 68 8/9 ft.².

Helllpppppppppp please someone.?????
Liula [17]

Answer:

(-5,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the first equation by -2,and multiply the second equation by 1.

−2(x+5y=20)

1(2x−7y=−45)

Becomes:

−2x−10y=−40

2x−7y=−45

Add these equations to eliminate x:

−17y=−85

Then solve−17y=−85for y:

(Divide both sides by -17)

y=5

x+5y=20

Substitute  5 for y in x+5y=20:

x+(5)(5)=20

x+25=20(Simplify both sides of the equation)

x+25+−25=20+−25(Add -25 to both sides)

x=-5
