Answers:

36 individual black socks

38 individual white socks

Check: 36+38 = 74 total individual socks

====================================================

Work Shown:

b = number of pairs of black socks

w = number of pairs of white socks

w = b+1 since he has 1 more pair of white socks compared to black socks

2b = number of individual black socks

2w = number of individual white socks

2b+2w = total number of individual socks

2b+2w = 74

2b+2(b+1) = 74 .... plug in w = b+1

2b+2b+2 = 74 ... distribute

4b+2 = 74

4b = 74-2 .... subtracting 2 from both sides

4b = 72

b = 72/4 ... dividing both sides by 4

b = 18 is the number of pairs of black socks he has

2b = 2*18 = 36 is the number of individual black socks he has

w = b+1 = 18+1 = 19 is the number of pairs of white socks he has

2w = 2*19 = 38 is the number of individual white socks he has

2b+2w = 36+38 = 74 individual socks overall

Lera25 [3.4K]
Well, you know that the area of the rectangle is 12 square feet. And you know one of the numbers multiplied to get 12 is 5, so divide 12 by 5. You would get 2.4 as the other number needed.
In this case, 5 feet is the width and 2.4 feet is the length.

Leslie tunes musical instruments. Leslie tuned a guitar with 6 strings today. Then she tuned a piano with 37 times as many strin
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer: The piano has 222 strings, because 37×6=222.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are informed that Leslie tuned a guitar with 6 strings today and that she then tuned a piano with 37 times as many strings.

This simply means that we have to multiply 37 by 6 strings to get the value of the strings of the piano that she tuned. This will be:

= 6 × 37

= 222 strings.

Leslie tuned 222 strings.

Therefore, the piano has 222 strings, because 37×6=222.

The percent of increase or decrease i. this irem
Nikolay [14]
Since the price is going down, it's going to be a percent decrease. Now to find the percent, we divide the "after" price by the "before" price.

240 / 320 = 0.75 = 75%

The item had a 75% decrease.

1. X + 250 = 700
deff fn [24]

Answer:

1. 450

2. 8(12)+3(2.50)

3. 10

4. 32

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 700-250=450

2. 8 people going to the theater. If tickets cost $12 each, you multiply 8 by 12 to get the ticket cost. If 3 people ordered drinks and drinks cost $2.50, you multiply 3 by 2.50 to get the drink cost. Since this is asking for the total cost you add your first 2 answers to get the final cost.

3. 12/3=4, which means one pound costs $4. To find the amount bought with $40, divide 40 by 4, which equals 10 pounds.

4. To find percents, you turn your percentage into a decimal by dividing by 100. (400/100=4), then you multiply that by the number you are trying to find a percentage of(8x4=32). This gives you the answer 32.
