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!

What is the angle measure of 2x+1°
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

25 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Haha, awesome! Just did a problem like this!

All angles add up to 180, so set it up like this:

2x + 1 + 5x + 5 + 90 = 18

Combine like terms.

7x + 96 = 180

7x = 84

x = 12

Plug x back into 2x + 1

2(12) + 1

24 + 1

= 25 degrees

While we're at it...

5(12) + 5

60 + 5

= 65 degrees (for the other angle)

25 + 65 + 90 = 180

Math checks out & we're good to go!

Hope this helped. :) <3
