Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer because:

1) 12:5 is equivalent to the ration 24:10

2) This is because to get 24 you have to multiply 12 and 2 which is 24

3) Next, you have to do the same to the other side to make everything equal. Therefore, you have to multiply 5 with 2 which is 10.

4) Finally, your answer should be 24:10

Hope this helps! :D

Gonna do a little subbing here...

for 40 pgs of express proof reading....3 bucks per pg...c = 3
40(3) - 0.05(40(3)) = T
120 - 0.05(120) = T.....120 - 6 = T.....114 = T
so express proofreading cost 114

for 40 pgs of basic proof reading....c = 3.95
40(3.95) - 0.05(40(3.95) = T
158 - 0.05(158) = T....158 - 7.9 = T.....150.10
so basic proof reading costs 150.10

for 40 pgs of extended proof reading....c = 5
40(5) - 0.05(40(5) = T
200 - 0.05(200) = T....200 - 10 = 190
so extended proof reading is 190

no need to go further....the extended proof reading is gonna be ur answer...the best quality of editing that keeps it at 190
