Answer:
75% of students passed
Step-by-step explanation: divide 18 by 24 to find the precentage
Let's consider that number to be 'x'..
So, twice the number (2x) is 12 greater than than the half of the number.
So the equation will be like,
2x=12+x/2
Solving this further,
2x=(24+x)/2
=> 4x=24+x
=>4x-x=24
=>3x=24
=>x=8..
So the number is "8".
Answer:
85 parking spaces
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Parking spaces on floors :
Let first floor = x
Second floor = 2x
Third floor = 2x + 3
Total parking spaces = 428
THEREFORE ;
x + 2x + 2x + 3 = 428
5x + 3 = 428
5x = 428 - 3
5x = 425
x = 425 / 5
x = 85
Hence, there are 85 parking spaces on the first floor
