The percent proportion is a/b = p/100, where p is the percentage of the total fraction on the left side of the equation that you are trying to figure out.

We know that p=5, because p represents percentage, and the percentage 5% is equal to the fraction 5/100.  Also, we know that 60 = b, or the denominator as this is the entire portion that we are trying to figure out.

a/60=5/100

Now, we need to use cross products, or multiplying the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other, and setting them equal to one another.

100 * a = 60 * 5

If we simplify by multiplying, then we get the equation:

100a = 300

When we divide the variable by the coefficient, we get the equation

a=3

Therefore, sea world sold 3 discount tickets.

a flower bed is in the shape of a triangle with one side twice the length of the shortest side and the third side is 19 feet mor
Neporo4naja [7]

Let's assume

shorter side as x

so, first side =2x

third side =x+19

now, we can find perimeter of triangle

perimeter of any triangle is

first side + shortest side + third side

so, we get

P=2x+x+x+19

we are given perimeter=187

so, we can set it to 187

and then solve for x

187=2x+x+x+19

187=4x+19

4x+19-19=187-19

4x=168

x=42

so,

shortest length is x=42 feet

First side =2x=2*42=84feet

third side =x+19=42+19=61 feet

so, dimensions are

first side is 42 feet

second side is 84 feet

third side is 61 feet................Answer

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So we would have to multiply the "2x - 8" by 5 each resulting in 10x - 40 + 15. Then we subtract which results in 10x - 25 = - 15. We add 25 to 25 and 15 resulting in 10x = 10. We divide each by 10 which results in x = 1.
