Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation:

An elf ate 15 of your muffins and that was 5/8 of all of them. To get the number of muffins left goes thus:

We can first calculate the total number of muffins the person had. Let the total number of muffins be y. That means the elf ate 5/8 of y.

5/8 of y = 15

5/8 × y = 15

0.625 × y = 15

0.625y = 15

Divide both side by 0.625

0.625y/0.625 = 15/0.625

y = 24

The total amount of muffins is 24. Since the elf has eaten 15, the amount left will be: 24-15 = 9

In ∆abc, m∠cab = 2x and m∠​acb = x + 30. if line segment a b is extended through point b to point d, m∠​cbd = 5x − 50. what is t
Allisa [31]
The answer is option "3, 40".

<span>m∠cab = 2x
m∠​acb = x + 30
m∠​cbd = 5x − 50
Now,
</span>m∠cab + m∠​acb = m∠​cbd 
2x+x+30 = 5x-50
2x+x-5x = -50-30
-2x = -80
x = 40
