How do you solve what is 30% of $240

DerKrebs [107]

The Answer would be x=72. Why? Because $\frac{x}{240} = \frac{30}{100}. Fraction \frac{30}{100}$ is your %. You Cross multiply 240 * 30 = 100x
240 time 30 = 7200. you want x to be alone so you do 7200 divided by 100 equaling 72. So you get x=72.

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-2x+y=1\\-4x+y=-1&\text{change the signs}\end{array}\right\\\\\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-2x+y=1\\4x-y=1\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add both sides of the equations}\\.\qquad2x=2\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\.\qquad x=1\\\\\text{Put it to the first equation:}\\\\-2(1)+y=1\\-2+y=1\qquad\text{add 2 to both sides}\\y=3$
