You need to set it up as a fraction and make the fractions equal each other.
2/3 (2 of their books for 3 of yours)
x/18 (x amount of their books for 18 of yours)
(2/3)=(x/18)
multiply both sides by 18
and you get
36/3 which reduces to 12
so your answer is 12

First, lets set up the equation.
0.25x + (1/8)x + 24 = 60
The variable x will be equal to the total amount of the paycheck. We used 0.25 of the paycheck on the first item bought, 1/8 on the second item bought, and then 24 more dollars. After assembling the equation, we merely need to solve for x to find the value of the paycheck. I'll be converting 1/8 to 0.125 at this point for simplisity's sake.
Subtract 24 from both sides.
0.25x + 0.125x = 36
Combine like terms on the left side.
0.375x = 36
Divide both sides by 0.375.
x = 96
The total is A, 96 dollars.
Ok what do we know.
when the kettle is full its 2900g
when its half full is 2050g
that means that half the weight of water in the kettle was 850g so the other remaining half has to be 850g
850+850=1700
1700g is the weight of the water
but we want to know the weight of the kettle when its empty so you had 2900g when the kettle was full lets say you poured all 1700g of the water out you would be left with...
2900-1700= 1200g
this means the kettle when empty weighs 1200g
