let's say is 16% of "x", meaning "x" is the 100%.

we know "x" is 100% and 16% of it is 10, so

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} x&100\\ 16&10 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{16}=\cfrac{100}{10}\implies \cfrac{x}{16}=10\implies x = 160

Answer:

<h2>160</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\bold{METHOD\ 1:}\\\\\begin{array}{cccc}16&-&10\%&\text{multiply both sides by 10}\\\\(16)(10)&-&(10\%)(10)\\\\160&-&100\%\end{array}

\bold{METHOD\ 2:}\\\\\begin{array}{ccc}10\%&-&16\\\\100\%&-&x\end{array}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\\\(10)(x)=(100)(16)\\\\10x=1600\qquad\text{divide both sides by 10}\\\\\dfrac{10x}{10}=\dfrac{1600}{10}\\\\x=160

\bold{METHOD\ 3:}\\\\x-\text{number}\\\\p\%=\dfrac{p}{100}\to10\%=\dfrac{10}{100}=\dfrac{1}{10}=0.1\\\\10\%\ of\ x\ is\ equal\ 16:\\\\0.1x=16\qquad\text{divide both sides by 0.1}\\\\\dfrac{0.1x}{0.1}=\dfrac{16}{0.1}\\\\x=\dfrac{16\cdot10}{0.1\cdot10}\\\\x=\dfrac{160}{1}\\\\x=160

one pipe fills a store pool in 12 hours. A second pipe fills the same pool in 6 hours. When a third pipe is added and all three
Alina [70]

Answer:

x  = 12  hours

Step-by-step explanation:

If one pipe fills store pool in 12 hours   in 1 hour will fill 1/12 of the pool

If one pipe fills a store pool in 6 hours in 1 hour will fill 1/6 of the pool

Let call " x " number of hours needed by the third pipe to fills the pool

then in 1 hour  will fill 1/x

The three pipes working together in 1 hour will fill

1/12  +  1/6  + 1/x

Now we know that the three pipes take 3 hours to fill the pool then in 1 hour three pipes will fill 1/3 of the pool, therefore

1/12  +  1/6  + 1/x  = 1/3

( x + 2*x + 12) /12*x  = 1/3   ⇒ ( 3*x +12 )/ 12*x = 1/3

9*x  + 36  = 12*x

- 3*x  = - 36

x  = 36/3

x  = 12  hours
