So you have to solve for "donation" - so let's call that X. And the things we know are what the grandfather donated, as a function - meaning based upon - Theo's donation. We'll call that Y.
So Y is equal to 1/2 of $4 plus Theo's donation...... 0.5*(x+4).
So... 4.25 = 0.5(X+4), solving for X
4.25=0.5x + 2
-2 -2
2.25=0.5x - divide each side by 0.5 to get x alone.
x = 4.50
Plugging back in:
(4.50 + 4.00)*0.5 = 4.25!
Answer:
There are 30 books in the shelf.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem we can use a rule of three in such a way that 12 paperback mysteries are related to 40% of the books in the shelf in the same proportion that "x" total books are related to 100% of the books in the shelf. So we have:
12 -> 40%
x -> 100%
40*x = 12*100
40*x = 1200
x = 1200/40
x = 30 books
There are 30 books in the shelf.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This question basically asks for the LCM of 3 and 5, which is 3 x 5 =15
This is the answer: 15
Check : The first rectangle had 1/3 shaded; ( one in every three parts)
So for 15 parts altogether, 5 would be shaded ( 1/3 = 5/15)
The second rectangle had 2/5 shaded ( two for every five parts)
So for 15 parts altogether, 6 would be shaded (2/5 = 6/15)
Answer:
Feed 1, Soybean meal required = 
Feed 2, Corn meal required = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Total feed is <em>1 ton</em> i.e. <em>2000 lbs</em>.
Let <em>x</em> be the amount of Feed 1 required.
Feed 1 has 
of protein.
Then, amount of Feed 2 required = 
Feed 2 has 
of protein.
As per question, total protein required is 
of 2000 lbs
.
Adding (1) and (2) and putting it equal to total protein required.
Feed 1 required = 
Feed 2 required =
