The first step, would be to make the percent a fraction. 15%=15/100.
So, if they played 60 games, and you want to find how many they lost, you would write x/60, when x=games lost.
15 x
___=___
100 60
Simplify the fraction on the left. Divide the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) by 5, leaving you with 3/20.
3/20=x/60
Make the denominators (bottom) similar
9/60=x/60
x=9

I think its B. Because 396 divided by 3 equals 132 (there's 3 feet in a yard)
Answer:
37 dimes and 10 nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
let d = # dimes
let n = # nickels
we can set up a system of equations:
n + d = 47
.05n + .10d = 4.2
if we solve the first equation for 'n' we get:
n = 47-d
now we can substitute this in for 'n' in the second equation:
.05(47-d) + .10d = 4.2
2.35 - .05d + .10d = 4.2
2.35 + .05d = 4.2
subtract 2.35 from each side to get:
.05d = 1.85
d = 1.85÷.05
d = 37
if d+n = 47 and d=37 then n = 10
Check:
.05(10) + .1(37) should equal 4.2
.50 + 3.7 = 4.2 [It Checks Out]
Well the constant of variation is vital yet if there is a graph, table, or two points provided then you can find the slope. You will have to use different equations and steps of course.
X^2 + 3x - 28 factors to (X+7)(X-4)
X^2 - 7X + 12 factors to (X-4)(X-3)
Now we see that the equation is [(X+7)(X-4)]/[(X-4)(X-3)]
By dividing the top and bottom by (X-4), we see that the equation equals (X+7)/(X-3).
