He is not correct because 3.5 is actually 3 and 1/2
not 3/5
hope that helps @:)
Let W = number of white cars, and Y = number of yellow cars.
There were 9 times as many white cars as yellow cars. This means that the number of white cars was 9 times more than the number of yellow cars. This can be translated by the expression:
9Y = W
The person counted 40 cars in total:
W + Y = 40
So we get the system:

In the first equation, we multiply by 9:
9W + 9Y = 360
In the second equation:
9Y= W
W-9Y = 0
Then we add the first with the second equation:
9W + 9Y + W - 9Y = 360
10 W = 360
W = 36
So He counted 36 white cars.
Hope this Helps! :)
X = 60°
Because the square in the corner tells you that it is 90° (right angle)
So your equation to solve for x would be...
x + 30 = 90
Now you need to isolate the x.
Subtract both sides by 30.
x + 0 = 90 - 30
x = 60
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:sorry
The answer is 32
Solution for 40 is what percent of 125:
40:125*100 =
( 40*100):125 =
4000:125 = 32
Now we have: 40 is what percent of 125 = 32
Question: 40 is what percent of 125?
Percentage solution with steps:
Step 1: We make the assumption that 125 is 100% since it is our output value.
Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$x.
Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=125$100%=125.
Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=40$x%=40.
Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:
$100\%=125(1)$100%=125(1).
$x\%=40(2)$x%=40(2).
Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS
(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have
$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{125}{40}$
100%
x%=
125
40
Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields
$\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{40}{125}$
x%
100%=
40
125
$\Rightarrow x=32\%$⇒x=32%
Therefore, $40$40 is $32\%$32% of $125$125.
