sum of two numbers is 39. the greater number is 7 more than the smaller number. ( set up an equation )

Let x be the unknown number

2x +7 = 39

2x+7-7 = 39-7

2x = 32

2x/2 = 32/2

x=16

You use the balance method to solve. First, you cancel the +7 by subtracting the 7 ON BOTH SIDES to balance the equation.. After that, you are left with 2x, where you will need to isolate the x by dividing by 2 ON BOTH SIDES to balance it.

Hope this helps

a class has 60 students.Given that 85% passed a science test. Find the number of students who failed and then convert o %

Vanyuwa [196]

Given:

Total students = 60

Student passed = 85%

To find:

The number of students who failed and then convert it in %.

Solution:

We have,

Number of passed student = 85% of Total students

= $\dfrac{85}{100}\times 60$

= $51$

So, number of passes students is 51.

Number of students who failed = Total students - Passes students

= $60-51$

= $9$

So, number of students who failed is 9.

$\text{Fail}\%=\dfrac{\text{Failed students}}{\text{Total students}}\times 100$

$\text{Fail}\%=\dfrac{9}{60}\times 100$

$\text{Fail}\%=15$

Therefore, 15% students fail in the test.

Hi! I have a math question. This is a two part problem.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

Blair chosen to purchase shirt from company B. Given:

Each shirt costs 3.10$

Shipping cost is 4% (0.04) of total order.

=>Total cost without shipping: 150 x 3.10 = 465$

=> Total cost with 4% of shipping: 465 + 465 x 0.04 = 483.6$

=> Total cost Blair paid for one shirt: C = 483.6/150 = 3.22$

The markup is 75% of original cost:

=> Blair can multiply the total cost for one shirt by 0.75

Blair will sell shirt with price which is equal to the sum of total cost for one shirt and markup:

=> P = 3.22 + 3.22 x 0.75 = 5.64$

Hope this helps!
