The number who drink coffee is 3/4 of 8000, so ...
... (3/4)×8000 = 6000.
Of those, 1/5 add cream, so the number of coffee drinkers who add cream to their coffee is ...
... (1/5)×6000 = 1200.
_____
Alternate solutions
We have computed ...
... (1/5)×((3/4)×8000) = 1200
Since multiplication is associative, you can multiply the fractions first, if you wish:
... ((1/5)×(3/4))×8000 = (3/20)×8000
... = 24000/20 = 1200
or
... = 3×(8000/20) = 3×400 = 1200
To effectively determine the correct answer, it would be helpful to write this into an algebraic expression. We let x as the number. We do as follows:
<span>Four times the square of a certain number increased by 6 times the number equals 108.
4x^2 + 6x = 108
The numbers can be either of the following since the equation generated was a quadratic equation which has two roots.
x = 4.5
x = -6 </span>
You didn't describe the situation so I can't answer.
However: if the graph of the situation is a straight line then the situation is linear, and if the graph is not a straight line then it is nonlinear.
235/4 equals 58.75
Hope this helps!
270,000 is the answer because you have three over 100 so you do 100 divided by three which give you 0.15 then you do 120,000 times 0.15 to find out how much it grows per year to get 18,000 then you multiply 18’000 by 15 and get 270’000
