Answer:
12,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 1/3 of 30,000 is 10,000, we are left with 20,000. 3/5th of 20,000 is 12,000.
Distribute the 1/4:
1/4(16x) + 1/4(20) - 7x
Do the multiplication:
1/4(16x) = 16x/4 = 4x
1/4 (20) = 20/4 = 5
Now you have:
4x + 5 - 7x = 0
Combine like terms (4x and -7x):
-3x + 5 = 0
Subtract 5 from both sides:
-3x = -5
Divide by -3:
x = -5/-3 = 5/3
Answer:
x= 5/3
It will take 16 weeks to collect 400 cans
So 16 multipled by 25 would give you 400
