Answer: A 8040 is exactly divisible by 67 the quotient is 120
We can rewrite this problem as:
What is 60% of 35?
"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore 60% can be written as
60
100
.
When dealing with percents the word "of" means "times" or "to multiply".
Finally, lets call the number of members we are looking for "m".
Putting this altogether we can write this equation and solve for
m
while keeping the equation balanced:
m
=
60
100
×
35
m
=
2100
100
m
=
21
21
members must be present to have a vote.
Multiplicity means a large number. or large variety
So assuming that the total =27
r+b=27
r=-5+3b
r=3b-5
subsitute 3b-5 for r in first equation
3b-5+b=27
4b-5=27
add 5
4b=32
divide by 4
b=8
subsitute
b+r=27
8+r=27
subtracct 8
r=19
red=19
blue=8
