Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
As 2 phones are defective from a group of 98 that were checked, you can determine a percentage:
2/98= 2%
This indicates that 2% of the phones are likely to be defective and because of that you can find 2% of 850:
850*2%= 17
According to this, 17 phones are likely to be defective.
Cross multiply
20(x+1)=14(x-1)
20x+20=14x-14
Subtract 14x on each side giving you
6x+20=-14
Subtract 20 on each side giving you
6x=-34
x=-34/6. Simplifying that you get x=-17/3. I hope this helps!!!
Given :
Jack bought 50 lbs of clay for his art projects. He used 13.2 lbs to make a sculpture, and 0.72 lbs for each mug.
To Find :
How many mugs did Jack make if he had 28.88 lbs of clay left over.
Solution :
Clay required to make 1 mug, r = 0.72 lbs.
Amount of clay left after making sculpture is, T = 28.88 lbs.
Now, number of clay mug Jack can make is :
Since, number of mug cannot be in decimal, so we take the floor value.
Therefore, number of mug that can be prepared is 40 .
