11% = 16.5
1% = 16.5 / 11
= 1.5
100% = 1.5 * 100
= 150. His weight two years ago was 150 pounds.

X + (x * .11) = x + 16.5
2x * .11 = x + 16.5
Subtract x from both sides.
x * .11 = 16.5
Divide by .11 on both sides.
x = 150

Ray weighed 150 pounds two years ago.

The length of a rectangle is 5 inches less than twice its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 26 inches. What is the width
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

w= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

I just started by making an educated guess using the values already given. Then I inserted that into the problem to see if it worked.

L= 2w - 5

I used 6 as a random, educated guess for the value of w.

L = 2(6) - 5

L = 12-5

L = 7

Then, multiply L by 2 to account for both side lengths of the rectangle.

7(2)= 14

Subtract that value from the total perimeter to find what the width must equal.

26 - 14 = 12

Divide that answer by 2 since there are two sides for width.

12/2 = 6

I know this was kind of long, but I hope it helps! :)

The pizza stand gives patrons a free pizza when they collect 8 coupons how many free pizzas can Mrs.Fowler get if she has 78 cou
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Mrs. Fowler will get 9 free pizza. And she needs two more coupon for the next pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that pizza stand gives a free pizza for every 8 coupons.

And Mrs. Fowler has 78 coupons.

Part (a)

How many free pizzas can Mrs. Fowler get if she has 78coupons?

We will divide total number of coupons 78 by 8 coupons.

\frac{78}{8}=9\frac{6}{8}

When we divide we get quotient as 9, with a remainder of 6. So, Mrs. Fowler will get 9 free pizza.

Now, part (b)

If  Mrs. Fowler adds two more coupons that will turn remainder 6 into 6+2=8.

So, she can have next pizza.
