Answer:   53.4 = 19.9 + p

33.5% of commuters took public transportation in San Francisco.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the percentage of commuters took public transportation in San Francisco.

Given: 53.4% of commuters took public transportation in New York City, which was 19.9% greater than the percentage in San Francisco.

That means,

53.4 = 19.9 + p

Hence, required equation : 53.4 = 19.9 + p

Subtract 19.9 from both sides , we get

53.4-19.9=19.9-19.9+p\\\\\Rightarrow\ 33.5=p

hence, 33.5% of commuters took public transportation in San Francisco.

How can numbers be expressed, ordered and compared?
USPshnik [31]
Numbers can be expressed, ordered and compared by a lot of mathematical principles, properties, models and paradigms. There are different properties of numbers to associate, group and distribute numbers. For example commutative property of addition, 1 + 2 = 3 can be 3 = 1 + 2. Moreover, numbers can be expressed by mathematical form, thus 100 wherein 1 is in the place order of hundreds. And so on… other examples can be mathematical symbols or inequality to compare numbers. For example, 1 > 2. One is less than 2.

A line parallel to the y-axis that passes through (77,88) is x = 77.  There is no slope-intercept form of this equation if our coordinate system is based upon a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis.

A cleaning company charges a fee of &65 in addition to $10.50 per hour of cleaning, let x represent the number of hours clea
photoshop1234 [79]
Fee of $65
$10.50 per hour

'x' represents hours

Therefore we have:

y = 10.50x + 65

Because 10.50 is the cost per hour, and x represents hours, so we put these together. 65 is a one-time fee, so we just add it on.
