You can write this out as:

x - 0.4x = 36

The number minus 40% of the number is 36.  To simplify, combine like terms:

0.6x = 36

Finally, divide each side by 0.6:

x = 60

The original number is 60.

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

0.0105

Step-by-step explanation:

given that 30% of all houses need a paint job. Also, 15% of all houses need both a paint job and a new roof. Further, 7% of all houses that need a new roof also need new windows.

If total houses are 100, then 30 require a paint along.  15 require both paint and new roof.

Out of 15 houses which require new roof 7% need new windows

i.e. no of houses which need new windows = 15*7%\\=1.05

If there are total 100 houses, 1.05 houses require a new window

So probability that a randomly selectede house needs a new window

= 0.0105
