He has not read 152 pages.

If y is the number of pages he has not read and x is the number of pages he has read, then:

x+y=193
x=1/4y+3 (the number of pages he has read is three pages more than one fourth the number of pages he hasn't read)

Since we have two equations, solving for one variable will allow us to substitute that value into the other equation. Since x is already isolated in the second equation, we will use that, substituting the value of x from the second equation into the first.

(1/4y+3)+y=193
5/4y+3=193
5/4y=190
y=152

An animal shelter has 9 puppies. If the puppies are 36% of the total dog and cat population, how many dogs and cats are in the a
Luda [366]

Answer:

Let total number of dog and cat population in animal shelter be x.

As per the statement:

An animal shelter has 9 puppies.

⇒ Total number of puppies = 9

It is also given that if the puppies are 36% of the total dog and cat population.

⇒ 9 = 36\% \text{of}{\text{total number of dogs and Cat}

or

9 = \frac{36}{100} \times x

By cross multiply we get;

900 = 36 x

Divide both sides by 36 we get;

25 = x

Therefore, total number of dogs and cat population in animal shelter are 25

siniylev [52]
If each ticket is $9.75, then you multiply $9.75 by how many tickets he's buying. In this case he's buying 3, so it's 9.75x3. The total for that is $29.25. You subtract $28.25 from $43 and that leaves him with $13.75

A restaurant manager can spend at most $400 a day for operating costs and payroll. It costs $100 each day to operate the bank an
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The restaurant Manager can afford 6 employees for the day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Manager can spend at most of $400.

Total Money ≤ $400

Cost to operate bank = $100

Cost for each employee = $50

Let number of employees for the day bex

Hence the equation will become;

50x + 100 \leq 400

Solving this equation we get;

50x + 100 \leq 400\\50x \leq 400-100\\50x \leq 300\\x\leq \frac{300}{50}\\\\x\leq 6

Hence, The restaurant Manager can afford 6 employees for the day.

The selling price of an item is $600. After 6 months of not selling, it is marked down by 30% . After another 6 months of not se
Bingel [31]

The sale price after both markdowns will be $336

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

The selling price of an item is $600. After 6 months of not selling, it is marked down by 30%

So, the marked down amount after 6 months =\$ 600*0.30= \$180

and the selling price after first 6 months will be: \$600-\$180=\$420

After another 6 months of not selling , it is further marked down by 20%. So, the marked down amount now = \$420*0.20=\$84

Thus, the final selling price after all markdowns =\$420-\$84=\$336
