In order to solve the equation, set up a proportion. Use the similar sides together!

1. 16/8 = x/20.... Similar sides are in one ratio and they equal another ratio...."x" represents the side of VS

2.Solve for "x" by cross multiplying: 8x = 320

3. Divide by 8 to find "x": x = 40

Side VS equals 40. Hope this helped :)

Haeden observed that 65% of her coworkers prefer the local talk news radio station. If 28 of her coworkers do not prefer talk ne
vekshin1

Part A


Let x represent the number of coworkers who prefer the talk news radio.


65% prefer the talk news radio,



100-65=35% will be the percentage that corresponds to coworkers who do not prefer the talk news radio.


Part B


We apply ratio to find x.




65:x



35:28


Hence number that corresponds to 65% will be greater than 28.


If more, less will divide.


This implies that,



x=\frac{65\times 28}{35}=52


Hence 52 of her coworkers prefer the local news talk station.

ollegr [7]
In order to solve this question
Make an equation
Let x be the cost of each T- shirt

Simplify the equation
75x-13.75= 398.75
Get Rid of The Constant
75x-13.75+13.75= 398.75+13.75
75x=412.5
Make sure your Variable is equal to one
75x÷75= 412.5÷75
x= 5.5
The price of each shirt is $5.50
