Mathematics

Alexxx [7]2 years ago

Answer:16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be X

Twice the sum of a number and 5

= 2X+5

Three times the difference of the number and 2

= 3(X - 2)

Since Twice the sum of X and 5 is equal to three times the difference of the X and 2, This means

2(X + 5 )= 3(X - 2)

2X +10 = 3X - 6

3X -2X = 10 + 6 = 16

X = 16

Check

2×(16+5) =3×(16-2)

2×21 = 3×14

42 = 42

75 out of 300 oranges in a basket are bad. what percent age of the oranges are (a) bad (b)good
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

a) 25% are bad

b) 75% are good

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are 300 oranges total and that 75 are bad. That means that the rest are good (implied).

300 - 75 = 225 good oranges.

So to find the percentage we have to take the selected amount divided by the total amount.

Bad Apples:                               Good Apples:

75 / 300 = 0.25                          225/300 = 0.75

However, that's a decimal or <em>a number out of 1, </em>we need a percent or <em>a number out of 100.</em> So we have to multiply both numbers by 100.

Bad Apples = 25%

Good Apples = 75%
