If the first chapter of a certain book is 40 pages long and makes up 20% of the book, how many pages does the entire book have?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Setler [38]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

20% of a book = 40 pages

100% of a book = x pages

20/100 = 40/x                Cross multiply

20x = 100*40                 Combine the right

20x = 4000                    Divide by 20

20x/20 = 4000/20         Do the division

x = 200                           Answer

How do you get why by itself in this equation? 4x+5y=5
Alja [10]

Answer:

first we get y on one side by itself.

4x+5y=5

we'll move x to the other side.

4x-4x+5y=5-4x

simplify.

5y=5-4x

now we get rid of the coefficient on y.

5y/5=(5-4x)/5

simplify.

y=5/5-4x/5

y=1- \frac{4}{5}x

The answer is y=1-\frac{4}{5}x
