8%=0.08 and 100%=1 (100% represents the original weight in percentaje)
If x is the weight you can express: 1x-0.08x=15.1
solve for x:  0.92x=15.1
x= 15.1/0.92=16.1
The original weight was 16.41 ounces

Answer:

Old weight is equall to 16.413 ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

New weight = 15.1 ounce

Old weight = x ounce

(Old weight) -8% of old weight= new weight

X - 0.08x= 15.1

X(1-0.08)= 15.1

X*0.92= 15.1

X= 15.1/0.92

X = 16.413

Old weight is equall to 16.413 ounce

_____ + 5 3/4 = 9 5/8<br>please help you will get 75 points​
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

3 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

_____ + 5 3/4 = 9 5/8

x + 5 3/4 = 9 5/8

Subtract 5 3/4 from each side

x + 5 3/4 - 5 3/4 = 9 5/8 - 5 3/4

x = 9 5/8 - 5 3/4

Get a common denominator of 8

5 3/4 *2/2 = 5 6/8

x = 9 5/8 - 5 6/8

We need to borrow 1 from the 9 in the form of 8/8

x= 8 + 8/8+ 5/8 - 5 6/8

x = 8  13/8 - 5 6/8

  = 3 7/8
