Let x + 15 = total penguins

15/ (x +15) = .30

15 = .30x + 4.5

.30x  = 10.5

x = 35

Total penguins = 15 + 35 = 50

Double Check

15 / 50 * 100 = 30%  Correct!!!

Priya's cat weighs 5 1/2 pounds and her dog weighs 8 1/4 pounds.
Lilit [14]

Answer: The cat is 2/3 times as heavy as the dog.


Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of Priya's cat =5\frac{1}{2}\ pounds

Now, 5\frac{1}{2}=\frac{11}{2}\ pounds

The weight of her dog =8\frac{1}{4}\ pounds

8\frac{1}{4}=\frac{33}{4}\ pounds

Let cat is n times heavy as dog.

Then n=\text{cat's weight}\div\text{dog's weight}

n=\frac{{11}{2}\div\frac{33}{4}\\\Rightarrow\ n=\frac{11}{2}\times\frac{4}{33}\\\Rightarrow\ n=\frac{2}{3}

Hence, The cat is 2/3 times as heavy as the dog.

Answer:

josh vendió 17 libros recaudando 306 dolares .

jessica vendió  255 libros recaudando 4590 dolares.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sustituimos por variables :

libros que vendió Jessica = x

libros que vendió Josh = y

entonces:

x + y = 272

Jessica vendió 15 veces mas libros que josh:

x = 15y

Reemplazamos en la anteriior ecuacion:

15y +y = 272

16y = 272

y = 17

Reemplazamos en la primela ecuacion :

x + 17 = 272

x = 255
