Answer:
9x + 3 = 7x + 19
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Jeffrey set up chairs for a meeting.
He arranged the chairs in 9 equal rows but had 3 chairs left over.
Let x be the number of chairs. So,
9x+3 .....(1)
Then he arranged the chairs in 7 equal rows but had 19 chairs left over. So,
7x+19 ......(2)
From equation (1) and (2),
9x+3 = 7x+19
9x-7x = 19-3
2x = 16
x = 8
Hence, the correct option is (b).
Percent means parts out of 100
105%=105/100=1.05
'of' means multiply
105% of 260=1.05 times 260=273
2 apples in the partly filled tray, 11 tents are needed for all the children
18%=0.18
380×0.18=68.4 increase
380+68.4=448.4
the easier way is to think 1 times any number is the same number so 380(1+0.18)=448.4 (just like adding tax to the price of something to see how much you'll actually pay)
