Assuming the pay last month was from Jayla's new job, it represents pay for weekly hours of ...
Jayla worked an average of 37 hours each week.
Exam + Tests + Quizzes + HW + Projects = 90
Exam = 10% * grade (x) = 0.1 * x
Tests = 50% * 85 = 0.5 * 85 = 42.5
Quizzes = 15% * 95 = 0.15 * 95 = 14.25
HW = 15% * 98 = 0.15 * 98 = 14.7
Projects = 10% * 92 = 0.1 * 92 = 9.2
Exam + Tests + Quizzes + HW + Projects = 90
(0.1 * x) + 42.5 + 14.25 + 14.7 + 9.2 = 90
(0.1 * x) + 80.65 = 90 (subtract 80.65 from each side)
(0.1 * x) = 9.35 (divide 0.1 from each side)
(0.1 * x)/0.1 = 9.35/0.1
x = 0.935
The answer is 93.5%
432.2 / 4 = 108.1 <== avg of what 1 tank holds
1/2 full = 108.1/2 = 54.05
First you would need to apply the distributive property on the left side to get rid of the parenthesis. Then, you would need to apply the square root on both sides of the equation. Once this is done you would just need to solve for x.
