68.5. You take 62 and divide it by the percentage as a decimal, .905. 62 / .905 = 68.5.
If you have 8 yellow balloons for every 12 blue balloons, then if you have 20 balloons in total, 8 out of 20 of those balloons will be yellow. Then you can set up this ratio.
Then, you can use either cross multiplication or multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number to help solve for x. Personally, I prefer cross multiplication.
Finally, solve for x and if you had 100 balloons, you will have 40 yellow balloons.
Answer:
a triangle always equals 180 degrees so
63+ 2x+8 + x+7 =180
solve for x
and then plug it back into original equation
let me know if this makes sense
glad to help you more if needed
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of muffins = 12 muffins
Total number of people sharing muffin = 8
Muffins each person will receive = Total number of muffins
---------------------------------
People sharing muffins
= 12/8
= 1 1/2 OR 1.5 muffins
2x +3y =70
2(0) +3y=70
3y=70
