The laundry has been sorted into dark clothes and light clothes. The number of dark clothes is three more than twice the number
of light clothes. The laundry is 60% dark clothes. Choose the equation that best represents this scenario. x over quantity 2x plus 3 equals 40 over 60 x over quantity 2x plus 3 equals 60 over 40 x over quantity 2x plus 3 equals 40 over 100 x over quantity 2x plus 3 equals 60 over 100
The correct answer is x over quantity of 2x + 3 = 40 / 100
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the correct answer because the problem states that the dark clothes is 3 more than twice the number of light clothes making the numerator x (light clothes) and the denominator 2x + 3 (dark clothes). The problem then states that the laundry is 60% dark clothes and the expression wouldn't be 40/60 nor would it be 60/40, the expression would be 40/100 and the 40 being the numerator (light clothes) leaving room for 60% of the entire load (dark clothes). I hope that I've helped your day improve, thank you for choosing brainly.
