The aquarium has 3 more yellow fish than green fish. 60 percent of the fish are yellow. How many green fish are in the aquarium?
kompoz [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  6

Step-by-step explanation:

If 60% are yellow, the other 40% are green. Then the difference between yellow and green is 60% -40% = 20% of the total number of fish. That difference also happens to be half of the number of green fish:

  20% = (1/2)(40%)

So, the number of green fish is 2×3 = 6.

_____

If you wanted to, you could write a couple of equations:

  y - g = 3

  y = 0.60(y +g)

Using the first equation to write an expression for y, we get ...

  y = g +3

Using this in the second equation, we have ...

  g +3 = 0.6(g +3 +g)

  g +3 = 1.2g +1.8 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  1.2 = 0.2g . . . . . . . .  subtract g+1.8

  1.2/0.2 = g = 6 . . . . . divide by 0.2

There are 6 green fish in the aquarium.

The equation a = 50m + 100 represents the amount of money in Malorie’s bank account as a function of time, in months. The table
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

A: 300 B: Malorie

Step-by-step explanation: Katina's account starts at $200 and increases by $20 each month. Malorie starts at only $100 but increases at a rate of $50 per month. for "A", Katina is 4 months in which equals $280. so, you take Malorie's $50 rate times the 4 months and you get $200. You then add that $200 to the starting $100 to equal $300.

B: 50m>20m. Malorie's monthly rate is listed in the equation as $50. Katina's rate of $20 comes from the $20 increase in her account each month.
