Answer:
10 to the power of 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Todd originally had 64 games; Jaylon had eight.
Step-by-step explanation:
If Todd has 56 games now, after having given eight games to Jaylon, Todd must have started with 64 games.
Let x = Jaylon's original games.
If Todd has <em>250 % more games</em> than Jaylon, he has <em>3.5 times as many </em>games as Jaylon.
Let x = Jaylon's original number of games. Then
x+ 8 = Jaylon's games now
∴ 56 = 3.5(x+8)
Distribute the 3.5 56 = 3.5x +28
Subtract 26 from each side 3.5x = 26
Divide each side by 3.5 x = 8
Jaylon originally had eight video games.
Check:
64 - 8 = 3.5(8 + 8)
56 = 3.5 × 16
56 = 56
48+48(the two sweaters you pay full price for)+48(the two half off sweaters are 24$ a piece) so your total for all four sweaters is 144$
No:
At first, it might appear that the number with a leftmost digit of 8 should be bigger than one with a left most digit of 3 because so long as the 3 and 8 have the same digit position, this will be the case;
The same applies if the 3 is at a lower digit position than the 8;
But, there is nothing in the statement to suggest that the 8 has the higher digit position, i.e. the numbers could be 3000 and 800;
In this case, the largest number has the leftmost digit of 3;
Therefore, you cannot tell which number will be bigger without any other information.
For this question, we want to find out what 9 / 12 equals as a percent
or x / 100. Therefore, we have a proportion here and can say:
9/12 = x/100
Now, at this point, we can cross multiply to get:
900 = 12x
Now, divide both sides by 12 to get x alone and find that:
x = 75 <==== FINAL ANSWER
so 9 is 12% of 75!
I hope that helps you out! Please let me know if you have any other questions!
