30 of the divisors are multiples of 3
The factors of 2160 are 1, 2160, 2, 1080, 3, 720, 4, 540, 5, 432, 6, 360, 8, 270, 9, 240, 10, 216, 12, 180, 15, 154, 16, 135, 18, 120, 20, 108, 24, 90, 27, 80, 30, 72, 36, 60, 40, 54, 45, 48
These are all divisors of 2160 but only 30 are multiples of 3.
The ones that are NOT are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40 and 80
You can also do this using prime factors 2x2x2x2x3x3x3x5 = 2160 but it is harder to explain.
18−2x=4x = Given
18=6x = Addition property of equality ( Add 2x to both sides)
3=x = Division Property of Equality )( divide both sides by 6).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It's a lot greater. If you take 0.4% of some number and the answer is 76, you better be starting with something that is very large. The formula will make the solution automatic.
Formula
Let the number be x
0.4% x = 76
0.4% = 0.4/100
0.4 / 100 * x = 76 Multiply both sides of the equation by 100
0.4x = 76*100 Combine the right.
0.4x = 7600 Divide by 0.4
x = 7600/0.4
x = 19000 Which is quite a bit larger than 76
