We suggest, that the number 32 is 100% - because it is the output value of the task. 
<span>We suggest, that x is the value that we are looking for. </span>
<span>3. If 32 is 100%, so we can jot it down as 32=100%. </span>
<span>4. We know for sure, that x is 15% of the output value, so we can jot it down as x=15%. </span>
5. Now, these are the equations are we have.
1) 32=100%
2) x=15%
where the left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
32/x=100%/15%
6. Now we just have to work out the equation, and we'll get the answer that we want.

7. Answer for what is 15% of 32

32/x=100/15
<span>(32/x)*x=(100/15)*x       - </span>multiply both sides of the equation by x
<span>32=6.66666666667*x       - </span>divide both sides of the equation by (6.66666666667) to get x
<span>32/6.66666666667=x </span>
<span>4.8=x </span>
x=4.8

<span>15% of 32=4.8
So, the answer is $4.8
Hope this helped</span>

Find each equation with the correct solution​
stepladder [879]

Answer:

15;9;-8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 5/3x-3=2/3x+12

x=15 once you combine like terms

2. 5x+35-3x+12=7x+2

2x+47=7x+2

5x=45

x=9

3. 12x+20-3=9x-7

12x+17=9x-7

Darell parks his car in a parking garage. The garage charges a certain amount for the first hour and an hourly rate for each add
mestny [16]

Answer:

charges for the first hour = $7.55

charges for each additional hour = $1.55

c = 1.55h + 7.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = charges for the first hour

y = charges for each additional hour

x + 2y = 10.65 (1)

x + 5y = 15.30 (2)

Subtract (1) from (2)

5y - 2y = 15.30 - 10.65

3y = 4.65

y = 4.65/3

= 1.55

y = $1.55

Substitute y = 1.55 into

x + 2y = 10.65

x + 2(1.55) = 10.65

x + 3.10 = 10.65

x = 10.65 - 3.10

= 7.55

x = $7.55

c = 1.55h + 7.55
