So you want two groups that are in a ratio of 4 to 7
so 33=4x+7x
so 33=11x
so x=3
that means the groups are 4*3= 12 and 7*3=21
Answer:
25%
Step-by-step explanation:
Say we start from the beginning with $40. If the pants are discounted but we don't know the percent discount, then we need a variable, x:
40 - x% * 40 = 30
The total is 40. When we take a discount off of 40, we are taking a percent of 40 and subtracting that from 40. From the problem, this should be 30. Thus, the equation above.
Add x%*40 to both sides and subtract 30 from both sides:
x%*40 = 10
Divide by 40:
x% = 1/4 = 0.25
Multiply each side by 100:
x = 25
The answer is 25%.
Answer:
-6 degrees F
Step-by-step explanation:
We start with -8F as the temperature. It fell 10 degrees to 2F, then fell 8 degrees to -6F.
The answer is for x is x = 60
