You first have to know the total number of responses: 82+76+42= 200
then you set up a proportion: %/100 = part/whole (and whichever thing you’re trying to solve for will be x)
so for this problem: x/100 = 42/200 (x is what you’re solving for: you’re trying to find the percent of people that prefer strawberry ice cream out of the 200 people surveyed)
then: cross multiply
i like to start with the x first so:
200 • x = 200x
and
42 • 100 = 4200
then finally put these together to make an algebraic equation: 200x = 4200
solve from there:
4200 divided by 200 (because you want x by itself) is 21 so you’re left with:
x = 21
now remember how we used x to represent the percent out of 100 on our proportion? this means that 21% of people (out of the 200) prefer strawberry ice cream
hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

82 + 76 + 42 = 200

42 out of 200 hmmm

200 / 2 = 100

42 / 2 = 21

21 out of 100 = 42 out of 200

=

21%

As we know that 
x=x0*[1/2]n
putting the values 
375=3000*[1/2]n
375/3000=<span>[1/2]n
</span>1/8=<span>[1/2]n
simplify
[1/2]3=</span><span>[1/2]n
by cancelling them
so n=3
so it will take 3 minutes
hope it helps</span>

At the city museum, child admission is $5.30 and adult admission is $9.40 . On Tuesday, 140 tickets were sold for a total sales
sergeinik [125]
C + a = 140......a = 140 - c
5.3c + 9.4a = 1086.4

5.3c + 9.4(140 - c) = 1086.4
5.3c + 1316 - 9.4c = 1086.4
5.3c - 9.4c = 1086.4 - 1316
-4.1c = - 229.6
c = -229.6 / -4.1
c = 56......so their were 56 child tickets sold
