Hi there!~

So first off we need to use a variable to solve the given percentage, lets use "y" (This can also be used as any other letter, most commonly can be known as "x")

The formula is "\frac{100-y}{100}"

And because we are increasing, we would use that ^

So for us we get 0.58 as an answer.

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

X= 7

Step-by-step explanation:

x+x+2+3x-6=31 Combine x's

2x+2+3x-6=31 Continue to combine x's

5x+2-6=31  Combine whole numbers

5x-4=31  Add 4 to both sides

5x=35 Divide by 5

1)

neverminding how many grams or liters...or whatever unit for now
we know one bag of grass covered 1/6 of the lawn, "a whole" or 1, is 6/6
if 1 bag covers 1/6, to cover 6/6 is just 1/6 +1/6 +1/6 +1/6 +1/6 +1/6 , or 6 bags

2)

one can was enough for 1/4 of the sprayer, a full sprayer is 1 whole or 4/4, so 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4  or 4 cans

3)

one potato gives enough for 1/3 for a lighbulb, again, 1 whole is 3/3, so 1/3 +1/3 +1/3 , so 3 potatoes
