What is the length? Can you post a picture?
The food service gave out 80 samples, which is 4 fewer than 70% of the total number of samples they prepared. Lets make x the total number of samples they prepared.
So lets write it as an equation
80 = (70% of x) -4
70% converts to a decimal by moving the decimal point 2 spaces up, so it is 0.7
80 = 0.7x-4
Add 4 to both sides of the equation
84 = 0.7x
Divide both sides by 0.7 to isolate the x
x = 120
The food service prepared 120 samples.
First you make -1 and 3/4 have a common denominator. 1 has a fraction of 1/1 so times four it is 4/4. Then you add on both sides in order to isolate x and you get 3/10x = 7/4.
Then you isolate x by multyiplying the reciprocal of 3/10 on both sides, 10/3.
3/10 and 10/3 cancel out and you get an answer of x = 70/4.
You could then simplify it to get 35/6 by finding a greasted common multiple of 12 and 70 which is 2 and dividing both by 2 to get a simpilier answer.
So the answer is x = 35/6
Answer is in file explain: sorry if I’m wrong
1 - (1/5) = 4/5 yards of ribbon.
(4/5) / (1/10) = 8 Pieces of 1/10 Yard Long Ribbons
Hope that Helped you.
