What you need to do is divide 32 by 40 so you end up with 1%. Then you need to multiply that by 25 and you will get 25%

32÷40=0.8

0.8x25=20

Let the number be x.

40% of x = 32

(40/100)*x = 32

x = 32 * (100/40)

x = 32 * 2.5

x = 80

The number is 80.

Finding 25% of the number

25% of 80

(25/100) * 80

(1/4)* 80

20

25% of that number is = 20.

I hope that this helps.

34 less than the product of 14 and an unknown number is 78

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

34 less than (-34) the product of (multiply) 14 (14) and an unknown (x) is (=) 78 (78)

-34+14 times x=78
14 times x=14x
14x-34=78
add 34 to both sides
14x=112
divide both sdies by 14
x=8
the number is 8

HELP ASAP!right answer I’ll give you a crown

Answer:

$y=-\frac{3}{2}x+1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form means

$y=mx+c$

where m is given its the slope which is $-\frac{3}{2}$ and we have the coordinates x and y which is (4, -5) and we need to find the value of c which is the y-intercept so we insert all these values into the equation so ,

$y=mx+c$

$-5 = -\frac{3}{2}(4)+c$

$-5=-6+c$

$c=1$

now we know the value of slope which is given $-\frac{3}{2}$ and we found the value of which is 1 so we put these values into our original slope-intercept form equation

$y=mx+c\\\\y=-\frac{3}{2}x+1$
