0.6875 converted to a fraction is 11/16
Answer:
x=4, y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 3y = 7
x - 3y = 1
Add the equations together to eliminate y
x + 3y = 7
x - 3y = 1
---------------------
2x = 8
Divide by 2
2x/2 = 8/2
x = 4
Subtract the two equations to eliminate x
x + 3y = 7
-x + 3y = -1
----------------------
6y = 6
Divide by 6
6y/6 = 6/6
y =1
Let x + 15 = total penguins
15/ (x +15) = .30
15 = .30x + 4.5
.30x = 10.5
x = 35
Total penguins = 15 + 35 = 50
Double Check
15 / 50 * 100 = 30% Correct!!!
