Answer: x=55 y=145
x=55
35+90=125
125-180=55
y=145
180-35=145
I hope this is good enough:
Given:
18 points on her quiz
24 points is equivalent to 100%
18 is to 24 or 18/24
x is to 100% or x/100%
18/24 = x/100%
18 * 100% = 24x
1800% = 24x
1800%/24 = x
75% = x
18/24 = 75%/100%
18 * 100% = 24 * 75%
1800% = 1800%
X 65%
———— = ———-
90 100
1) multiply across
90 • 65 = 5,850
2) divide what’s left over.
5,850 / 100 = 58.5
