Let n represent the number. 
<span>.. (3/5)n - 1 = 23 ... three-fifths of a number decreased by one is twenty-three. </span>
<span>Please note that the same English description might be interpreted as </span>
<span>.. (3/5)(n-1) = 23. </span>
<span>We'll use the first interpretation, as it results in the number being an integer. </span>

<span>.. (3/5)n = 24 ... add 1 </span>
<span>.. n = (5/3)*24 ... multiply by 5/3 </span>
<span>.. n = 40 ... carry out the multiplication </span>

<span>The number is 40.</span>

HELP THIS IS WORTH 40 POINTS Lucy has a jewelry business. To make a certain necklace, she spends $3.38 on materials and $5.57 on
ankoles [38]
A.) If Lucy sells 1 necklace, her sales would equal to $15.99. Then her profit would be:

Profit = $15.99 - $3.38(1) - $5.57(1)
Profit = $7.04

The fraction of the sale price of the necklace in profit is denoted as x.

15.99x = 7.04
x = 704/1559

b.) This is the same as part (a) but in decimal form. Just simply divide 704 by 1559. The answer is 0.44

c.) If Lucy's sales is $223.86 and each necklace costs $15.99, then the number of necklaces sold is $223.86 ÷ $15.99/necklace = 14 necklaces

Her profit for the 14 necklaces sold would be:

$223.86 - $3.38(14) - $5.57(14) = $98.56

mezya [45]
You find the HCF which is 8
you divide 32 and 24 by 8

therefore there will be 4 slices of turkey and 3 slices of cheese in each sandwich.
and there will be 8 sandwiches...
