a fruit stand has 18 red apples this is 40% of the total apples in the stand. how many apples are there in the stand?
2 answers:
It can be done like that but surely its easier (if you have a calculator especially) to divide 18 by 40 to get 1% and multiply by 100 to get 100% :)
18/40*100/1 (=1800/40
=900/20)= 90/2
=45 apples
18 is 40% of all
all=x
percent means parts out of 100
40%=40/100=4/10=2/5
18 is 2/5 of all
18=2/5 of x
'of' means multiply
18=2/5 times x
18=2x/5
multiply both sides by 5
90=2x
divide both sides y 2
45=x
there were 45 apples in the stand

The answer to the question is
3x+2=3x-2
X+1=4x
1=3x
x=1/3
(1/3)-1/(1/3)
(-2/3)/(1/3)
-2
Answer:
pretty sure its -2,3 :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(b) is inverse while (a) is not inverse.
Step-by-step explanation:
we can see this since the values of x and y should flip if the function is inverse. we see this in (b) but not in (a).
