First of all, you must change 40% into a decimal by multiplying by 100⇒.40
Then you divide 55 by .40
55÷.40=137.5
Therefore, 55 is 40% of 137.5

Take 55 and divide it into 40% by changing 40% into decimal form, (because a percentage is not a whole number), like this: .4. Then, 55/.4, which is 137.5.

The Country Buffet restaurant has tables that seat 6 people and booths that can seat 4 people. The restaurant has 38 seating uni

Alina [70]

Answer:

There are 20 booths and (38 - 20), or 18, tables

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the number of tables with t and the number of booths with b.

We need to find the values of t and b.

(6 people/table)(t) + (4 people/booth)b = 188 (units are "people")

t + b = 38 (units are "seating units")

Solving the second equation for t, we get 38 - b = t.

Substitute 38 - b for t in the first equation:

(6 people/table)(38 - b) + (4 people/booth)b = 188

Then solve for b: 6(38) - 6b + 4b = 188, or:

228 - 2b = 188, or 2b = 228 - 188, or 2b = 40. Thus, b = 20 (booths)

There are 20 booths and (38 - 20), or 18, tables.

3.1. Without counting. determine the number of seats in the theatre. Show your working out. on the balcony

Zinaida [17]

Based on the number of seats on the balcony, the number of seats in the theatre are 600 seats.

<h3>What number of seats does the theatre have?</h3>

The balcony is said to have 120 seats and these are 1/5 of the total seats in the theatre.

The total number of seats in the theatre are:

= Number of seats on balcony / Proportion of seats this represents

Solving gives:

= 120 ÷ 1/5

= 120 ÷ 0.2

= 600 seats

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point

bulgar [2K]

Answer: y = 4x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:First, you put the equation into the standard “slope/intercept” form.

4x -y = 2 subtract 4x from both sides ; -y = -4x + 2 Multiply by -1 :

y = 4x - 2

In this standard form we see that the slope of the line (coefficient of x) is 4. ANY line parallel to this one must thus also have a slope of 4.

y = 4x - a (generic)

ANY other combination of slope multiples and constant terms will therefore also be lines parallel to this one. The one that passes through a specific point will simply have a different constant term.

We find this by putting our point value into the equation:

3 = 4(-2) + a ; 3 = -8 + a ; a = 11

Thus, our “parallel line equation” through the point (-2,3) is:

y = 4x + 11
