3:4 = 7
3/198 = 7/x
solve for x using cross multiplying
3/198 = 7/x
198(7) = 3x
1386 = 3x
/3 /3
462 = x
Therefore, there are 462 workers.
Proof:
3/198 = 4/x
198(4) = 3x
792 = 3x
/3 /3
264 = x
264 + 198 = 462.
264 / 4 = 66
198 / 3 = 66
462 / 7 = 66
Answer:
$5.25.
Step-by-step explanation:
That is $7.50 - 30% of 7.50
= 7.50 - 0.30 * 7.50
= $5.25.

. Solve the equation by multiplying each term by the LCM of the denominator, 12x. The equation is now 2x + 12 = 3x. We solve and find x = 12. It will Marcus 12 hours to paint the room alone.
We are tasked to solve the value of p(8a) in the expression p(x)=3x^2-4.
This means that what would find the value of the expression when x=8a. To solve this, we simply substitute the value of x in the expression.
p(x)=3x^2-4
p(8a)=3(8a)^2-4
p(8a)=3(64a^2)-4
p(8a)=192a^2-4
