If 2/3 of a certain number is subtracted from twice the number, the result is 20. Find the number.

2 answers:

6 0

Answer: 60
Step by Step Explanation:
Let the number be x
So, x-2/3x=20
=> x/1 - 2/3x = 20
=> (3x - 2x)/3 = 20
=> x/3 = 20
=> x= 20*3
=> x=60
Checking if the solution is correct:
So substitute the value of x in x-2/3x=20
As we know x=60
So, => 60 - 2/3*60 = 20
=> 60 - 40 = 20
As 20 = 20
So this answer is correct

Let x be the number.

Set up an equation:

2x - 2/3x = 20

Simplify:

1 1/3x = 20

Divide both sides by 1 1/3

X = 15

The number is 15

Bill's recipe for onion soup call for 4.0lb of thinly sliced onions. If an onion has an average mass of 115g, how many onions do

musickatia [10]

Answer:

1. $16\ onions$

2. $4,040.91\ kg$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that the average mass of an onion is 115 grams and Bill needs 4.0 pounds.

Then, since $1\ lb=453.592\ g$ , we can make the following conversion:

$(4.0\ lb)(\frac{453.592\ g}{1\ lb})=1,814.37\ g$

Then, the number of onions Bill needs is:

$(1,814.37\ g)(\frac{1\ onion}{115\ g})=15.77\ onions$ ≈ $16\ onions$

2. Since $1\ kg=2.20462\ lb$ , we can make the following conversion:

$(11\ lb)(\frac{1\ kg}{2.20462\ lb})=4.98\ kg$

Knowing that all the potatoes sold today at the store bring in $1,420 and 4.98 kilograms of potatoes is $1.75, we can calculate the amount of kilograms the grocery shoppers bought:

$(\$1,420)(\frac{4.98\ kg}{\$1.75})=4,040.91\ kg$

Oliver had m dollars to spend on a backpack for the new school year. The expression below represents the amount of money he had

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Y is the amount of back pack

The total amount is represented by m

If Y is the cost of back pack purchased by Oliver, then 0.7 Y is the tax applicable on the purchase of back pack

Hence, the remaining cost would be total amount with Oliver minus the cost of back pack and the tax applicable on the purchase of back pack

Remaining cost = m - (y + 0.07y)

Hence, option A is correct
