The slope of the line is
(or just 2) as it rises by 2 units and runs to the left by 1 unit.
Keep note of these things before we start:
-Of is a keyword that tells us multiplication is being done
-x = total number of pages
-32% = 32/100 = .32
Okay, here we go:
32% of total number of pages = 80
.32 of x = 80
.32*x = 80
.32x = 80
.32x/.32 = 80/.32
x = 250
There are 250 pages in total in Katie's book.
To find out how many pages she has to read (y), subtract the pages read from the total:
TOTAL - PAGES READ = PAGES LEFT TO READ
250 - 80 = y
170 = y
Katie has 170 pages left to read
Hope this helps!
Given:
Student ticket price = $7
A group of 4 students and 3 adults paid $64 in all for movie tickets.
To find:
Each of the adult ticket cost.
Solution:
Let x be the cost of each adult ticket.
Then, cost of 3 adult tickets = 3x.
Cost of 1 student ticket = $7
Cost of 4 student ticket = $7(4)
According to the question,




Divide both sides by 3.

Therefore, the cost of each adult ticket is $12.
