Answer:
if its 1% of $28 then it would be 28 cents i think
X=1, y=4
Substitute 4x in for y in the second equation and you get 5x=5. Divide out 5 and you get x=1. Then, you can plug 1 in for x into either equation and solve for y.
1/3 of 60 to 1/5 of 100 is 20 to 20.
1/3 x 60/1 =20
1/5 x 100/1=20
Reminder: You're able to cross-multiply.
Answer:
3.5% of 20, (0.035)*20, and 7% of 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Converting the mixed number (3 1/2) to a decimal yields 3.5, so 3.5% of 20 is correct.
3 1/2 is not equal to 3 1/2%, so 3 1/2 * 20 is not correct.
Converting the percentage to a decimal yields .035 which makes .35 too large, so (0.35) * 20 is not correct.
Changing the percentage to a decimal yields .035, so (0.035) * 20 is correct.
If you divide 20 by 2, you get 10, and if you multiply 2 by 3 1/2, you get 7. The 2 remains part of the expression, so it is equal to 3 1/2 of 20.
Subtraction doesn't mix with mult. or div. Are you sure you've copied this problem down correctly?
"decrease an amount (x) by 19" would be x - 19 (NO multiplication here)
