Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6% of number = 6/100 × x = 6x/100 = 3x/50

Sum of the number and 6% of itself = 42.4

x + (3x/50) = 42.4

(50x+3x)/50 = 42.4

53x = 42.4 × 50

53x = 2120

x = 2120/53

x = 40

Answer:

The answer is x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

6% of a number is 6/100 * x

Of means multiply.

so 6% of x = 6/100 * x = 6 * x / 100 = 0.06x

Now just put these two together.

x + 0.06x = 42.4 Combine the left

1.06x = 42.4 Divide by 1.06

x = 42.4 / 1.06

x = 40

Ramon was studying pond life in Doyle Park. In two hours, he counted four more frogs than turtles. The number of crayfish he cou

deff fn [24]

Let us assume the number of turtles = x
Then
Number of frogs = x + 4
Number of crayfish = 2x + 3
Total number of turtles and crayfish = 54
Then we can write the equation as
x + 2x + 3 = 54
3x + 3 = 54
3x = 54 - 3
3x = 51
x = 51/3
   = 17
Then
The number of frogs = x + 4
      = 17 + 4
      = 21
So there are 21 frogs in the pond that has been counted by Ramon.
