Homework = 12.5% of 24 hours = 0.125 x 24 = 3 hours
Sam spent <u>3 hours</u> on homework.
Proportion of the time spent on homework = 3/24 = 1/8
Answer: Same spent 1/8 of his day on homework.
X= sandwiches
y= bottles of water
QUANTITY EQUATION
x+y= 200
COST EQUATION
$3x + $0.75y= $318.75
STEP 1
solve for one variable in quantity equation and substitute in cost equation
x+y= 200
subtract y from both sides
x= 200-y
STEP 2
substitute 200-y in for x
$3x + $0.75y= $318.75
3(200-y) + 0.75y= 318.75
600 - 3y + 0.75y= 318.75
combine like terms
600 - 2.25y= 318.75
-2.25y= -281.25
divide both sides by -2.25
y= 125 number of water bottles
STEP 3
substitute y=125 in either equation
x+y= 200
x + 125= 200
x= 75 sandwiches
ANSWER: There were 75 sandwiches and 125 bottles of water.
Hope this helps! :)
Don’t understand this kind of math
Ok, so I’m guessing that 35% is $140 and that the question is asking to find the total at first.
Basically,
35% -> $140
So we’re gonna find 100%
1%->140 divide by 35 which is 4
100%-> 4 x 100= $400
And that should be your answer:)
