Remark
The trick to this question is realizing what you took 1/3 of. Did you take it of the 150000 or is it 1/3 of some total you have to find. I don't think you could come up with a third choice.
It turns out that the answer is 1/3 of a number you don't know.
Equation
(1/3) x = 150000 Multiply both sides by 3
3*(1/3) x = 150000 * 3
x = 150000 * 3
x = 450000
Conclusion
The amount the company makes is 450000 dollars / year.
I think the answer would be D. Hope this helps!
Answer:
20 batches
Step-by-step explanation:
Cups of sugar in a bag = 15
Cups of sugar per batch of cookie = 3/4 cup
Cups of sugar per batch of cookie : batch of cookies = 3/4 : 1
what's the greatest number of batches of cookies that can be made with the bag of sugar
Let
x = batches of cookies made with a bag of sugar
Cups of sugar per batch of cookie : batch of cookies = 15 : x
Equate the ratios
3/4 : 1 = 15 : x
3/4 ÷ 1 = 15/x
3/4 × 1/1 = 15/x
3/4 = 15/x
Cross product
3 * x = 4 * 15
3x = 60
x = 60/3
x = 20
x = batches of cookies made with a bag of sugar = 20 batches
