To solve this problem you can first set up an equation.
3m+m=24
<u>4</u>m=<u>24
</u>4 4
m=6
6 monkeys
24-6=18 lions
An example should make this clear.
If $50 is 40% what is the value of the whole amount?
Answer:- Whole amount = 100^%
By proportion this = (100/ 40) * 50
= 2.5 * 50
= $125 (answer)
Answer:
The price of hot dog is $2.5 and that of a pretzel is $1.25.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of hotdogs be x and that of pretzels be x.
So,
4x+3y = 13.75 ...(1)
and
2x+5y = 11.25 ...(2)
Multiply equation (2) by 2.
4x+10y = 22.5 ...(3)
Subtract equation (1) from (3).
4x+10y-(4x+3y) = 22.5-13.75
4x+10y-4x-3y = 8.75
7y = 8.75
y = 1.25
Put the value of y in equation (1).
4x+3(1.25) = 13.75
4x+3.75 = 13.75
4x = 13.75-3.75
4x = 10
x = 2.5
So, the price of hot dog is $2.5 and that of a pretzel is $1.25.
The answer I came up with was ×^6-4. Just rewrite it. I hope this was helpful.
Answer:
1 3/5
Step-by-step explanation: First you have to line the fractions up then you add what is under the 1 which is nothing then you add 2 and 4 and get 6 then you add 12 and 3 and get 15 then it can be simplified then you get 1 3/5
