Diana had chocolate, and ate some, leaving 0.75 of it for Sarah.

Sarah ate 18.5 grams of it and return the rest to Diana, which was 65% of the original chococate.

how much chocolate did Diana have at the beginning?

and the solution is:

0.75x-18.50=0.65x

0.75x-0.65x=18.50
0.1x=18.50
x=185

so Diana had 185 grams of chocolate.

Tobias rented a kayak from a sports equipment store.

Ket [755]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = every day he rented the kayak

Since the store charges $60 for each day, multiply x by 60 like this: 60x

They also have $25 on top of that; 60x + 25

This all has to equal $325; 60x + 25 = 325

To solve for x, subtract 25 from both sides

60x + 25 = 325

- 25 - 25

60x = 300

Divide both sides by 60

60x/60 = 300/60

x = 5

This means Tobias rented the kayak for 5 days
