Mathematics

If 36 is 80% ( a piece) of a number. that means the number must be higher than 36

Changing the English to math:

36 = 80% x n  (n being the number)
36= .8n  (changed the percent to a decimal by moving it back two places
<u>36</u> = <u>.8</u>n
.8      .8    I divided both sides by .8 - when you divide a number by a decimal (less than one) the number will become larger.
The answer is 45

2x - 3 = 4

Add 3 to both sides:
2x = 7

Divide both sides by 2:
x = 7/2

Tasya [4]

Answer:

8750

Explanation:

There are 5/5 math teachers in the university. 3/5 of them did not want to become math teachers which means 2/5 of the math teachers is equal to 3500.

3500=2/5

divide 3500 by 2 to get 1/5 of the math teachers.

3550/2=1750

1750 is 1/5 of the math teachers.

multiply 1750 by 5 to get 5/5 of the math teachers

1750*5= 8750
