Answer: 25

Step-by-step explanation: Reading through the problem, we have 60% which can be written as the fraction 60/100, "of" means multiply, "what number" which we can call X, "is 15" equals 15.

$(\frac{60}{100}) (X) = 15$

If we simplify on the left side of the equation, we can reduce 60/100 to 3/5 so we now have as followed.

$\frac{3}{5}x = 15$

We can multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to get rid of the fraction and we have 3x = 75.

3x = 75

÷3 ÷3 ← divide both sides by 3

X = 25

Therefore, 60%of 25 is 15.

Hi there!

15 × 100 ÷ 60 = 25

So, 60% of 25 is 15.

Hope this helps!

What is the solution to the inequality

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

p > 5 and p <-8

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you first need to isolate p.

First add 6 on both sides of the equation:

$-6 + |2p+3| >7\\\\(+6) -6 + |2p+3| >7 +6\\\\2p + 3 > 13$

Then subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.

$2p+3-3>13-3\\\\2p > 10\\$

The divide both sides by 2.

$\dfrac{2p}{2}>\dfrac{10}{2}\\\\p>5$

Another solution is possible because of the absolute value.

If $|2p+3|>13$

Then $|2p+3|$

<em>Thus we can solve the second solution:</em>

$|2p+3|$

$2p+3$

Isolate P again by subtracting both sides by 3

$2p+3-3$

$2p$

Then divide both sides by 2:

$\dfrac{2p}{2}$

$p$
