There are two ways:

1.   (42,000 * 3)/5 =

126000/5 =

25200

2.    42000/5 =

8400*3 =

25200

Now subtract 25200 from original

42000 - 25200 = 16800

16800 votes were not for the winner

Find the smallest positive integer solution to the following system of congruences: x = 0 (mod 5) x = 8 (mod 11) The solution is
igomit [66]

Answer:

The smallest positive integer solution to the given system of congruences is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of congruences is

x=0(mod5)

x=8(mod11)

where, m and n are positive integers.

It means, if the number divided by 5, then remainder is 0 and if the same number is divided by 11, then the remainder is 8. It can be defined as

x=5m

x=11n+8

5m\cong 11n+8

Now, we can say that m>n because m and n are positive integers.

For n=1,

5m=11(1)+8=19

5m=19

19 is not divisible by 5 so m is not an integer for n=1.

For n=2,

5m=11(2)+8

5m=30

m=6

The value of m is 6 and the value of n is 2. So the smallest positive integer solution to the given system of congruences is

x=5(6)=30

Therefore the smallest positive integer solution to the given system of congruences is 30.

If 10 percent of x is 20 what is 23 percent of x
Zarrin [17]
X = 200 because when finding 10% of s number we divide the number to 10. then you find 23 percent of 200. which is 46, because percentages are found out of 100 and 200 is 100 multiplied by 2. So we have to multiply 23 by 2. the answer is 46.

What a statistical question?
Nostrana [21]

A statistical question is a question that is based off of data. People commonly use numerical data as well. It’s common for a statistical question to have more than one answer. This is because all the data is recorded and used into central tendency data.
