Answer:
58
Step-by-step explanation:
1. let x be the unknown number
2. make an expression
x + 26/12 = 7/1
3. cross multiply
x +26 × 1 = x + 26
12 × 7 = 84
x + 26 = 84
4. move variables on one side and numbers on other side of the equal sign
x + 26 = 84
- 26 -26
x = 58
Answer:
80
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentage increase = (increase) x 100 / original
Percentage increase = (5,800,000 - 5,000,000) x 100 / (5,000,000)
Percentage increase = 16%
Answer:
the cost of running the boarding
house for 600 students is N61,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let C represents cost
K1 represents first constant
K2 represents second constant
C= k1+k2n
3500 = k1 + 25 k2............. Eqn(1)
6000= k1 + 50 k2 .............. Eqn(2)
Subtract eqn(1) from eqn(2)
2500= 25k2
K2= 2500/25
K2= 100
To get k1 from eqn(1)
3500 = k1 + 25 k2
Substitute the value of k2
3500 = k1 + 25 (100)
3500= k1 +2500
K1= 3500- 2500
K1= 1000
The equation connecting them;
C= 1000+ 100n
The cost of running the boarding
house for 600 students is
n= 600
C= 1000+ 100(600)
C= 1000+60000
C= N 61,0000
