Answer:
3 1/8 packages of beads
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that Darnell uses 1 1/4 packages of beads to make 10 bracelets. In order to find how many packages of beads he'll need for 25 bracelets, we set up a proportion:
, where x is the number of packages needed
Cross-multiply:
25 * 1 1/4 = 10x
1 1/4 is just 1.25 in decimal form, so:
25 * 1.25 = 10x
31.25 = 10x
x = 3.125 = 3 1/8
So, Darnell will use 3 1/8 packages of beads.

Answer:
{x,y,z} = {-18,4,2}
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve equation [2] for the variable x
x = -10y + 2z + 18
Plug this in for variable x in equation [1]
(-10y+2z+18) + 9y + z = 20
- y + 3z = 2
Plug this in for variable x in equation [3]
3•(-10y+2z+18) + 27y + 2z = 58
- 3y + 8z = 4
Solve equation [1] for the variable y
y = 3z - 2
Plug this in for variable y in equation [3]
- 3•(3z-2) + 8z = 4
- z = -2
Solve equation [3] for the variable z
z = 2
By now we know this much :
x = -10y+2z+18
y = 3z-2
z = 2
Use the z value to solve for y
y = 3(2)-2 = 4
Use the y and z values to solve for x
x = -10(4)+2(2)+18 = -18
Answer:
500 miles
Explanation: 100-44 is 56, so 280 is equal to 56% of the trip. 280/56 is equal to 5. Therefore 5 is 1%, so if we multiply the 5 x 100 there we go, that's 100% of the trip. Not how your teacher told you to do it, but its the right answer.
