2/5 of 100 is 40, multiply that by two and you get 80/200. 80 pages.

To get the answer we can use proportion
2/5 ------------------ 203
3/5 ------------------ x
crossmultiply now
3/5*203=2/5*x
$\frac{609}{5} = \frac{2}{5} x \\ 609=2x \\ x=304.5$ - its the answer

Equation in point slope form

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow y-5000=-500(x)$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow y=-500x+5000$

Shows a reading which is 8% higher than the actual pressure.

Solnce55 [7]

The actual pressure before the percentage increase is 36.5

<h3>How to calculate the Actual pressure?</h3><h3 />

New pressure = £39.42
Percentage increase = 8%

let

x = actual pressure

39.42 = x + (8% of x)

39.42 = x + (0.08x)

39.42 = 1.08x

x = 39.42 ÷ 1.08

x = 36.5

Therefore, the actual pressure before the percentage increase is 36.5

Solve for w. <br><br> 1/3w + 5/6w - 2 = -w

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: $w=\frac{12}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for w, we want to isolate the variable.

$\frac{1}{3}w +\frac{5}{6}w-2=-w$ [add both sides by 2 and w]

$\frac{1}{3}w +\frac{5}{6}w+w=2$ [convert to same denominator]

$\frac{2}{6}w +\frac{5}{6}w+\frac{6}{6} w=2$ [add]

$\frac{13}{6} w=2$ [multiply both sides by 6/13]

$w=\frac{12}{13}$

Now we know that $w=\frac{12}{13}$ .
