Use a proportion.
A ratio of 44 blue to 33 yellow is the same as a ratio of 4 blue to 3 yellow.
Since you are told the total of cards, 84, add 3 + 4 = 7
In the deck, the cards are int he ratio of 4 blue to 3 yellow to 7 total.
4 blue to 7 total = x blue to 84 total
4/7 = x/84
7x = 4 * 84
x = 4 * 12
x = 48
There are 48 blue cards.
1/4(2x-14)=4
2x/4-14/4
X/2-7/2=4
x-7/2=4
8=x-7
8+7=x
X=15
I would do 12 x 10 = 120
to compensate do 120 - 12 =108 same as 12*9 = 108
The estimate is decent, because we are only $12.00 from the real answer.
If you would like to know how much do you save per month, you can calculate this using the following steps:
your expenses: 36% of 2,847.69 = 36% * 2,847.69 = 36/100 * 2,847.69 = 1,025.17
2,847.69 - 1,025.17 = 1,822.52
saving 40% of your discretionary money: 40% of 1,822.52 = 40% * 1,822.52 = 40/100 * 1,822.52 = 729.008 = 729.01
The correct result would be: You can save 729.01 per month.
