Answer:
Abdullah is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
The bottle contained originally 12 fl oz, so 12 fl oz is 100%.
The box now contains 20% more, so now it contains 120% of 12 fl oz.
120% * 12 fl oz = 1.2 * 12 fl oz = 14.4 fl oz
Also, 20% is 1/5. Abdullah divided 12 oz into 5 equal parts, and then he added one more 1/5. He interpreted the problem correctly. The amount in the new bottle is the amount of the old bottle plus 20% of that old amount.
Kanna considers the original amount to be 80%. When he adds another 20%, he is adding 1/4 of 12 which is too much. That is why he gets an incorrect answer that is to high. He interpreted the problem incorrectly. For him, the old bottle has 20% less than the new bottle. That is incorrect.
Abdullah is correct.
Answer:
x= 13.5
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 2x + 9
f(x) = 36
Set the 2 equations equal to each other;
2x + 9 = 36
Subtract 9 from both sides;
2x = 27
Divide both sides by 2;
x = 13.5
<em>Check:</em>
f(x) = 2x + 9
f(13.5) = 2(13.5) + 9= 27 + 9 = 36

Answer:
35 students in the class.
Step-by-step explanation:
If there are 5 students in the class, then 2 of them would wear glasses and 3 of them wouldn't. (Equation 1)
Now, there are 14 students how are wearing glasses.
We just times the whole Equation 1 by 7.
If there are 5 x 7 = 35 students in the class, then 2 x 7 = 14 of them would wear glasses and 3 x 7 = 21 of them wouldn't.
So, there are 35 students.
