Start by calling the unknown amount 'x'. We can then set up a relationship to represent the question:
or
and then solve for x, by dividing both sides of our equation by 0.3
213 is 30% of 710
To check:
When you go to stores and it advertises 25% off or something like that is a big one. tipping 15% or 20% is another application. a third would maybe be the interest you earn on a bank account??
Let Home runs = X
Triples would be X-3 ( 3 less triples than home runs)
Doubles would be 3x ( 3 times as many doubles as home runs)
Singles would be 45(x-3) ( 45 times as many singles as triples)
Simplify the equation for singles to be 45x-153
Now you have X + x-3 + 3x + 4x-135 = 262
Simplify:
50x - 138 = 262
Add 138 to both sides:
50x = 400
Divide both sides by 50:
x = 400/50
x = 8
Home runs = x = 8
Triples = x-3 = 8-3 = 5
Doubles = 3x = 3(8) = 24
Singles = 45(x-3) = 45(8-3) = 45(5) = 225
Answer:
92 * 1.5 = 138
138* .2 = $27.60
