You need to find what percentage the difference is of 72.  

First, subtract 60 from 72:

72-60=8

Next, divide 8 by 72:

8/72=0.1111

To convert this decimal to a percentage, multiply it by 100:

100*0.1111=11.11

The percent decrease is 11.11%.

Hope this helps!!

nekit [7.7K]
Each hour,
x makes b/6 bearings
y makes b/4 bearings
z makes b/3 bearings

Together, each hour, x, y and z together make
b/6+b/4+b/3=b(1/6+1/4+1/3)=b(2/12+3/12+4/12)=b(3/4)=3b/4 bearings.

Time to make b bearings =
b/(3b/4)=4/3 hours = 1 hour 20 minutes.

A newspaper carrier has $5.40 in change. He has six more quarters than dimes but five times as many nickles as quarters. How man
BigorU [14]
X= number of dimes
x+6= number of quarters
5(x+6)= number of nickels
$5.40= 540 cents

Add the number of each coin and set it equal to the total in cents.


x + (x + 6) + 5(x + 6)= $5.40
multiply 5 by parentheses; change dollar total to cents

x + (x + 6) + (5 * x) + (5 * 6)= 540

x + (x + 6) + 5x + 30= 540
combine like terms

7x + 36= 540
subtract 36 from both sides

7x= 504
divide both sides by 7

x= 72 dimes

x + 6= 78 quarters

5(x + 6)= 390 nickels


CHECK
72 + 78 + 390= 540
540= 540


ANSWER: There are 72 dimes, 78 quarters and 390 nickels.

Hope this helps! :)
