Answer:
The word "Of" in an equation is interpreted to be multiplication. Also, you must move the decimal two places to the left to change a percent to a decimal.
1. 20 * .12 = 2.4
2. .3 * 70 = 21
3. 300 * .25 = 75 Blue marbles
4. 40 * .35 = $14
Number 1 = 17
number 2 = 72
number 3 = 24
work:
the three numbers are symbolized as x, y, and z
x + y + z = 113
number 2 (y) is 3 times the third number (z) so
y = 3z
so x + 3z + z = 113
the first number (x) is 7 less than than the third number (z) so
x = z - 7
so z -7 + 3z + z = 113
5z - 7 = 113
5z = 120
z = 24
x = 17
y = 72

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
4/5 cup of brown sugar. Needs 1/4 cup. How many cups left?
Okay, so 4/5 = 0.80, 1/4=0.25.
0.80-0.25=0.55
Which is 55/100
Divide both numbers by 5
11/20
