I believe that it would be a-21/49
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number, then 60 = 40% of x & x =60/40%=60/0.4=150
then the number of which 60 represent 40% of it is 150
2) Let x be the time needed to the 16 clerks to finish the job
In one day the 32 clerks complete a portion of 32/22 of the job
In one day the 16 clerks complete a portion of 16/x of the job
So in 1 day===> 32/22 =16/x ==> x=(22*16)/32 = 11 days
Answer:
It's just a simultaneous equation
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a big bag of sugar = x
Let a small bag of flour = y
x+x+y = 12kg
2x+y = 12kg ... 1
x-y = 2kg ... 2
Add 1 and 2
2x+y = 12
+
<u> </u><u> </u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>y</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u> </u><u>2</u>
3x = 14
x = 14/3 = <u>4.66</u>
Substitute value of x into 1
2(4.66)+y = 12
9.333 + y = 12
12 - 9.333= 12
y = <u>2</u><u>.</u><u>6</u><u>6</u>
