To easier digest this question, we can multiply the 120 servings by 4 ounces to make it into a common unit of measurement. This way, we can compare ounces with ounces instead of ounces to servings.
We then have 480 servings, and the poor caterer only has 60 ounces. We can put that into a fraction, 60/480. From here, things get slightly easier. All we have to do is make it into a fraction we can digest, which would be 1/8. We can turn that fraction into a decimal by simply dividing. We have 0.125.
Since we are changing from a decimal into a percent, we have to move the decimal point two places to the right. We have out final answer of 12.5%.

find three consecutive even integers so that the twice the sum of the second and third is twelve less than six times the first
zysi [14]

n, n + 2, n + 4 - three consecutive even integers

the twice the sum of the second and third: 2[(n + 2) + (n + 4)]

twelve less than six times the first: 6n - 12

The equation:

2[(n + 2) + (n + 4)] = 6n - 12

2(n + 2 + n + 4) = 6n - 12

2(2n + 6) = 6n - 12       <em>use distributive property</em>

(2)(2n) + (2)(6) = 6n - 12

4n + 12 = 6n - 12       <em>subtract 12 from both sides</em>

4n = 6n - 24       <em>subtract 6n from both sides</em>

-2n = -24        <em>divide both sides by (-2)</em>

n = 12

n + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14

n + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16

<h3>Answer: 12, 14, 16</h3>

Bob's car rental company makes you pay 10 dollars per day you rent the car and a 30 dollar insurance fee

joe's car rental company makes you pay 30 dollars per day you rent the car and a 10 dollar insurance fee

how many days do you need to rent a car for the cost for renting both are the same

bob=10x+30
joe=30x+10
set each to each other
10x+30=30x+10
subtract 10x
30=20x+10
subtract 10
20=20x
divide both sides by 20
1=x
you need to rent 1 day for them to be equal
