Three-sevenths of a number is 21. Find the number

Mathematics
1 answer:
Neporo4naja [7]3 years ago
6 0
Let x = the unknown number.
Because three-sevenths of the number is 21, therefore
(3/7)x = 21

That is
(3x)/7 = 21

Multiply each side by 7.
3x = 21*7 = 147

Divide each side by 3.
x = 147/3 = 49

Answer:  49

You work forty hours a week at a furniture store. You receive a 1,200 dollar weekly salary, plus a 4.1% commision on sales over
Pachacha [2.7K]
If you call x the total value of the sales, the sale over 12,000 will be: g(x) = 12,000 - x.

And the commission is 4.1% of that = 0.041 * (12,000 - x) = 0.041 * g(x)

So, if  f(x) = 0.041x, to calculate the commission you first have to calculate g(x) = 12,000 - x, and the f(g(x))=0.041[12,000 - x].

Which leads you to the solution for the commission as [f o g] (x) = f (g(x)) = 0.041 (12,000 - x).

Answer: [ f o g] (x)

mb- The graph shows the relationship between time and the number of soda bottles a machine can make. Use the points (2,100) and
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

1200

Step-by-step explanation:

We can gather from what's given that y=20xy represents the total number of bottles produced in the given time in seconds, which is x. When x=1, y=20, This means that each second the machine can make 20 soda bottles. Each minute is 60 seconds, so when x=60, y=20*60 =1200 soda bottles.

Create and solve a system of equations for the following scenario: Luke and Leia are selling hot dogs and hamburgers at a minor
mixas84 [53]

So x + y = 45, and 4x + 5y = 195. Get y by itself. Subtract x from both sides in the first equation to get y = 45 -x, and subtract 4x from the second equation to get 5y = 195 - 4x. Divide by 5 to both sides to get y = 39 - 4/5x. 39 - 4/5x = 45 - x. Add x to both sides to get 39 - 1/5x = 45. Subtract 39 from both sides to get -1/5x = 6. Divide by -1/5 to get x = -30, or 30. In the first equation, do 30 + y = 45. Subtract 30 from both sides to get y = 15. Check. 4(30) + 15(5) = 195, or 120 + 75 = 195.
