Since one piece is four time the length <em>x, </em>we can represent that as 4x.
Thus making the equation:
4x+x=275
5x=275
x=55
4(55)=220
220+55=275
So, the length of the longer piece is 220 inches, and the length of the shorter piece is 55 inches.
Answer:
a) 6.67% b) 500% c) 40% d) 7.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
a. ? % of 75 = 5
<em>Let ? be y.</em>
<em>Of means multiply so we will replace it with a multiplication sign.</em>
<em>y% x 75 = 5</em>
<em>y% = 5/75</em>
<em>y% = 1/15 x 100</em>
y = 6.67 %
b) ?% of 28 = 140
<em>Let ? be y.</em>
<em>Of means multiply so we will replace it with a multiplication sign.</em>
<em>y% x 28 = 140</em>
<em>y% = 140/28</em>
<em>y% = 5</em>
<em>y = 5 x 100</em>
y = 500%
c) ?% of 100 = 40
<em>Let ? be y.</em>
<em>Of means multiply so we will replace it with a multiplication sign.</em>
<em>y% x 100 = 40</em>
<em>y% = 40/100</em>
<em>y% = 2/5</em>
<em>y = 2/5 x 100</em>
y = 40%
d) ?% of 200 = 15
<em>Let ? be y.</em>
<em>Of means multiply so we will replace it with a multiplication sign.</em>
<em>y% x 200 = 15</em>
<em>y% = 15/200</em>
<em>y% = 3/40</em>
<em>y = 3/40 x 100</em>
y = 7.5 %
