Answer: 250 pets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of pets in the pet shop be x

36% of them are rabbits. This means that the number of pets that are rabbit 36/100 × x = 0.36×x = 0.36x

28% of them are dogs. This means that the number of pets that are dogs are 28/100 × x = 0.28×x = 0.28x

The rest are hamsters. This means that total number of hamsters is total number of pets minus sum of rabbits and dogs.

Number of hamsters = x -(0.28x + 0.36x) = 0.36x

If there are 160 dogs and hamsters,it means that

0.28x + 0.36x = 160

0.64x =160

x = 160/0.64

x = 250

Answer:

250

Step-by-step explanation:

36% are rabbits, and 28% are dogs.  That means the percent that are hamsters is:

100% − 36% − 28% = 36%

There are 160 dogs and hamsters, which are 28% + 36% = 64% of the pets.  Therefore, we can write and solve a proportion:

160 / 64% = x / 100%

x = 250

There are a total of 250 pets.

Factor out the coefficient 1/2d+6
Ratling [72]
To factor, we always have to look for common factors in the numbers given to us. In this case, in 1/2 and 6, the common factor is 1/2. Therefore, we will have to factor like so:

1/2d + 6 = 1/2 (d + 3)

Hope this helps!

A farmer wants to use 200 feet of fencing for a chicken pen. He wants the width of the pen to be 20 feet. What is the length of
Aneli [31]
The length should be 80 feet.

This is because the width is 20, since there are two sides for the width in a pen, we have to add 20+20. This would equal 40. Then we need to subtract 40 from 200. 200-40 would be 160. Then since there are two sides for the length, we need to split that in half. 160÷2 would be 80. To double check, you can do 80+80 and that would still be 160. So the length of one side would be 80. But of course, this whole thing would only be right if the pen has four sides(but since i have seen many chicken pens, there were all rectangular). I hope this helped! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) we need to combine the like(same) terms(with same variable) together

same terms: 3x and 5x

                      2a and 4a

so

3x+5x=8x

2a+4a=6a

8x+6a

b)a) we need to combine the like(same) terms together

same terms: 7p-2p=5q

                     6q+q=7q
