Set this up as a proportion. If 85% of students like to read mysteries, that means that 15% don't. Therefore, if 30 students don't like mysteries, then 30 students account for 15% of the total number of students.  Set it up as a ratio where 30 students = 15% and  X students = 85%. Of course in order to use percentages in an equation we have to change them to decimals, .15 and .85 respectively. Then set up the ratio keeping the number of students in alignment and then the percentage of students in alignment (cuz % is not the same as the number of students.)  Like this:
\frac{students}{percent}: \frac{30}{.15} = \frac{x}{.85}
Now we cross-multiply to get .15x = 25.5 and x = 170.  That means that 170 students like to read mysteries and that also means that 170 accounts for 85% of the total number of students (which is 200).

x is defined for all real values of y greater than

juilo is paid 1.4 times his normal hourly rate for each hour he works over 30 hours in a week. Last week he worked 35hours and e
Licemer1 [7]
Let x be Juilo's normal hourly rate.

so for the 35 hr week  we have:-

30x + 5*1.4x = 436.60

37x = 436.60

x = 436.60 / 37 =  $11.80

His normal hourly rate = $11.80


So for a 30 hr week he will earn 11.80 * 30  =  $354

So  the  amount $436.60  is a reasonable figure for  a 35 hr week.
