The answer is A. X=-1/3 or x=2/3
Enrolement increased by 30% that means last year=100%
incease of 30%=30+100=130% now
now=182
percent means parts out of 100 so
130%=130/100=13/10
182=13/10 of x (x represents the number last year)
of means multipy so
182=13/10 times x
multiply both sides by 10/13 to clear fraction
182 times 10/13=x=140
140 students last year
9514 1404 393
Answer:
x = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
The parallel lines divide the triangle sides proportionally.
x/40 = 15/24
x = 40(15/24) . . . . multiply by 40
x = 25
