The estimate for the total population size is 1600.

Setting up a proportion for this, we know that 150 out of our 300 turtle sample is marked; this is the first ratio for the proportion.  We also know that we marked 800 of our total population, which we will call x:

150/300 = 800/x

Cross multiply:
150*x = 300*800
150x = 240000

Divide both sides by 150:
150x/150 = 240000/150
x = 1600

20k + 5 = 5k + 65 know the answer
Katyanochek1 [597]

Solving for 'k'

20k + 5 = 5k + 65

20k = 5k + 65 -5

20k = 5k + 60

20k - 5k = 60

15k = 60

15k/15 = 60/15

k = 4

On the first day of vacation, you read one-quarter of a novel. On the second day, you read half of the remaining pages. On the t
OverLord2011 [107]

The computation shows that the number of pages is 320.

The number of pages read in this second day will be 120.

<h3>How to illustrate the information?</h3>

Fraction read on first day = 1/4

Fraction news on second day = 1/2 × 3/4 = 3/8

Fraction read on last day = 1 - (1/4 + 3/8) =3/8

The number of pages that the book has will be:

= 3/8 × x = 120

0.375x = 120

x = 120/0.375

x = 320

The number of pages is 320.

b. The number of pages read on this second day will be:

= 3/8 × 320

= 120

Lol I'm glad to answer your questions :D

So in the last question, it uses the word "per" which basically means you would have to multiply the number of pounds times 1.69

So it would be $1.69a
