Answer:

$36

Step-by-step explanation:

A percent is always out of 100, no matter what.

If you need to find the percent of something try cross multipling like this.

x/720  x  5/100

5 x 720 = 3600

100x = 3600

divide 3600 by 100

and you get 36

Answer: $36

Step-by-step explanation:

a) we are looking for 5% of $720 or looking for how much commission was already taken which also means 5% of $720. Answer a = $36

as 10% = $72 and  5% = 72/2 = $36

b) If the question says what was the original amount if 5% the commission was taken already. Here we do answer b) = 105% of 720 =756  756-720 5% = 36 and we already found the answer to be $756 if being asked for an original sum.

The product of 4 and a number f decreased by 2 is 15
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:  The number is:  "2 " .

__________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

__________________________________________

Write the expression; which is an equation, as follows:

__________________________________________

    " 4x − 12 = 2(-x) " ;  in which "x" represents "the number for which we shall                                       solve" .

___________________________________________

Note:  

If the "number" = "x" ;  the "opposite of the number"  =  " -x " ;

___________________________________________

Rewrite as:  " 4x − 12 = -2x " ;

_____________________________________________

    →  Add "12" ; & add "2x" ; to EACH SIDE of the equation:

                     4x − 12 + 12 + 2x = -2x + 12 + 2x ;

          to get:    6x  = 12  ;

____________________________________________________

Now, divide each side of the equation by "6" ;

    to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;

____________________________________________________

                        6x / 6  =  12 / 6 ;

                   to get:    x = 2 .

____________________________________________________

Answer:  The number is:  "2 " .

____________________________________________________

Let us check our answer, by plugging in "2" for "x" in our original equation:

_____________________________________________________

       →   " 4x − 12 = 2(-x) " ;

 Let us plug in "2" for "x" ; to see if the equation holds true; that is; if both side of the equation are equal; when "x = 2" ;

       →   " 4(2) − 12 = ?  2(-2) ??

       →    8 − 12 = ?  -4 ? ;

       →    -4 = ? -4 ??  Yes!

Jason ran 325 meters farther than Kim ran Kim ran 4.2 km how many meters did Jason run estimate to check your answer
exis [7]
Jason = J, Kim = K

K+325m = J
K = 4.2 km
convert km to m by multiplying by 1000
4.2km * 1000 = 4200m = K
so just plug in your values to get your answer : Jason ran 4525 meters
4200m + 325 = 4525m

A grandmother says her grandson is two years older years older than her ganddaughter and that together , they are at least 12 ye
suter [353]
 let x represent granddaughter and x +2 for grandson and together they = 12
 so then we have the equation of x+2+x = 12
 combine like terms 2x +2 =12
-2 from both sides to isolate x
2x=10  divide both sides by 2 to get x by itself 
so we get x = 5 then add 2 +5=7 
so grandson is 7 and granddaughter is 5
