Break fast =  1/4
Tea time =  3/5
Still 18 left.

Fraction left =  1 - (1/4 + 3/5) = 

1/4 + 3/5 =  (1/4)*(5/5) + (3/5)*(4/4) = 5/20 + 12/20 = (5 + 12)/ 20

 = 17/20

Fraction left =  1 - (1/4 + 3/5) =  1 - 17/20 = (20 - 17)/20 = 3/20

Fraction left = 3/20

Assuming total number of cookies in the package is x.

(3/20)x = 18

3x/20 = 18

3x = 18*20

x = 18*20/3 = 120

There were 120 cookies in the package.

Ok so
1/4 of total eaten
3/4 left
3/5 of 3/4 eaten
9/20 left
18=9/20 of whole
multiply both sides by 20
360=9 of whole
divide both sides by 9
40=whole


40 total originlly

timurjin [86]

Answer:

25%- 1875 Votes

<em>7500 x 0.55 = 4125  (</em><em>first candite valid votes</em><em>)</em>

<em>7500 x 0.20 = 1500 (</em><em>invalid</em><em>)</em>

<em>first candite valid votes</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>55</em><em>) + invalid votes (</em><em>20</em><em>) = 75% of total votes </em>

<em>first candite valid votes</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>4125</em><em>) + invalid votes (</em><em>1500 </em><em>) = 5625 of total votes </em>

<em />

<em>100 (</em><em>total</em><em> </em><em>percent of votes</em><em>) - 75 (</em><em>total percent of votes</em><em>) = 25% Votes Left</em>

<em>7500 (</em><em>total</em><em> </em><em>number of votes</em><em>) - 5625 (</em><em>total number of votes</em><em>) = 1875 Votes Left</em>

<em>7500 x 0.25 = 1875 (</em><em>valid votes for the other candite</em><em>)</em>

ASAP GUYS PLEASE I NEED UR HELP THIS IS SO HARD<br> Solve: 5 − 7 ( z + 1 ) = 7 ( − 9 − 3 z )
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

-\frac{61}{14}

Step-by-step explanation:

Question: 5 - 7(z+1) = 7(-9-3z)

We multiply the number in front of the bracket first, since that is multiplication.

--> 5 -7z -7 = -63 - 21z

--> -7z -2 = -63 - 21z

Now, we move all the z and all the numbers to each side.

--> -7z +21z = -63 +2

--> 14z = -61

--> z = -61/14

This cannot be simplified further, so z is -61/14.

Suppose you have 20 coins that total $3.00. Some coins are nickels and some are quarters. Which of the following pairs of equati
shusha [124]

Answer: D. n + q = 20

5n + 25q = 300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number of nickels that you have.

Let q represent the number of quarters that you have.

Suppose you have 20 coins. It means that

n + q = 20

The total value of the coins is $3. The value of a quarter is $0.25 and the value if a nickel is $0.05. Therefore, the equation would be

0.05n + 0.25q = 3

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 100, it becomes

5n + 25q = 300

The correct option is

D. n + q = 20

5n + 25q = 300
