<h3>Answer: 63</h3>

=========================================

Work Shown:

1.5/3 = 31.5/x

1.5x = 3*31.5 cross multiply

1.5x = 94.5

x = 94.5/1.5 dividing both sides by 1.5

x = 63

-----------

An alternative equation to solve is

1.5/31.5 = 3/x

1.5x = 31.5*3

1.5x = 94.5

The remainder of the steps are the same as in the previous section above.

60% of 20 is (0.6 x 20) = 12 passes There are a further 30 quizzes remaining (50 total during the year minus 20 already written) 80% of 30 is (0.8 x 30) = 24 passes The student has passed (12 + 24) = 36 quizzes out of 50 total, giving an overall pass percentage of ((36 / 50) x 100)) = 72%.

Robert went to the grocery store and purchased cans of soup and frozen dinners. each can of soup has 300 mg of sodium and each f

Paraphin [41]

There are 9 cans of soup and 5 cans of frozen dinner.

The variables used for soup and frozen dinner are x and y respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Soup = x

Frozen Dinner = y

According to given statement of sodium;

300x + 500y = 5200 eqn 1

And,

x + y = 14 eqn 2

$Multiplying\ equation\ 2\ with\ 300\\300(x+y=14)\\300x+300y=4200\ Eqn 3\\$

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 1;

$(300x+500y)-(300x+300y)=5200-4200\\300x+500y-300x-300y=1000\\200y=1000\\y=\frac{1000}{200} \\y=5$

Putting value of y in Eqn 1;

$300x+500(5)=5200\\300x+2500=5200\\\\Subtracting\ 2500\ from\ both\ sides\ \\300x+2500-2500=5200-2500\\300x=2700\\x=\frac{2700}{300} \\x=9$

There are 9 cans of soup and 5 cans of frozen dinner.

The variables used for soup and frozen dinner are x and y respectively.
