To solve this problem, you must set it up like this : 6/x = 15/100
Now, cross-multiply. 15x = 600
Divide by 15 on each side.
x=40.
6 is 15% of 40.
Hope this helps :)
The equation would be 35=5x. ‘x’ is the number of seashells her brother has, and the 5 in front of the x is showing that she has 5 times more than him. to find how many her brother has, divide both sides of the equation by 5 to make the x stand alone. you should then get 7=x, meaning that her brother has 7 shells
I hope this helps you

Most of the information's are already given in the question. It is important to understand the language of the problem for solving the problem. Once the language is understood, then solving the problem is easy.
Let us assume the number of black jelly beans = x
Number of yellow jelly beans = y
Then from the question we can get to a equation.
3x - 7 = y
We also know from the question that
x + y = 225
x + 3x -7 = 225
4x = 225 + 7
4x = 232
x = 232/4
= 58
So Cassidy has 58 black jelly beans out of the total of 225 jelly beans
