The answer is 45.
  15% = 0.15, since you move the decimal 2 places
   0.15 x 300 = 45.

Anyone can help me solve this equation using cross multiplying
Natali5045456 [20]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = 1 or 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The notion of "cross-multiplying" is the idea that the numerator on the left is multiplied by the denominator on the right, and the numerator on the right is multiplied by the denominator on the left. This looks like ...

  \displaystyle \frac{x-1}{7}=\frac{2x-2}{3x-1}\ \longrightarrow\ (x-1)(3x-1)=(7)(2x-2)

Then the solution proceeds by eliminating parentheses, and solving the resulting quadratic equation.

  3x^2-4x+1=14x-14\\\\3x^2-18x+15=0\qquad\text{subtract $14x-14$}\\\\x^2-6x+5=0 \qquad\text{divide by 3}\\\\(x-1)(x-5)=0\qquad\text{factor}\\\\x\in\{1,5\}

<em>Comment on "cross multiply"</em>

Like a lot of instructions in Algebra courses, the idea of "cross multiply" describes <em>what the result looks like</em>. It doesn't adequately describe how you get there. The <em>one and only rule</em> in solving Algebra problems is "<em>whatever is done to one side of the equation must also be done to the other side of the equation</em>." If you multiply one side by one thing and the other side by a different thing, you are violating this rule.

What looks like "cross multiply" is really "<em>multiply by the product of the denominators</em> and cancel like terms from numerator and denominator." Here's what that looks like with the intermediate steps added.

  \displaystyle \frac{x-1}{7}=\frac{2x-2}{3x-1}\\\\\frac{x-1}{7}\times7(3x-1)=\frac{2x-2}{3x-1}\times7(3x-1)\\\\(x-1)(3x-1)=(2x-2)(7)\qquad\textit{looks like}\text{ cross multiply}

Okay so first we want to find out how many cans one person uses a year. To find this we divide 16,801 by 53 and we get 317 cans a year. Using this we can find how many cans 1,694,000 people use a year by multiplying the people by 317. You get 536,998,000 cans a year, which is your answer.
