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.

docker41 [41]

Answer:

30 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Alex has some target to run a certain number of miles by the end of the month.

Goal already achieved = 40% of the total goal

Number of miles already run by Alex = 12 miles

To find:

Number of miles that Alex is trying to run by the end of month?

Solution:

We have to find nothing but the goal of Alex here.

Let the number of miles that Alex is trying to run by the end of the month = x miles

As per question statement:

40% of total number of miles to be run = 12 miles

OR

\dfrac{40}{100}\times x = 12\\\Rightarrow 40x=12\times 100\\\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{1200}{40}\\\Rightarrow \bold{x = 30\ miles}

Total number of miles that Alex is trying to run by the end of the month = <em>30 miles</em>
