Step-by-step explanation: The key to solving multistep equations is isolating the variable. This is why I first subtracted 14 on each side. This left me with 1/3s=12. Then, to isolate "s" even more, I didvided by 1/3 on each side. This gave me s = 36 as an answer.

To divide by a fraction, use "keep change flip." Keep the first mumber, change division to multiplication, and flip the fraction. I included a picture of me doing this.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask :)

Divide 20 chocolates between Adi and Suresh such that adi gets 60% while Suresh gets 40% of the chocolates

Eddi Din [679]

Hello!

To find how much chocolate Adi and Suresh receives, you need to convert the percentage to a decimal, then you multiply that decimal by the total number of chocolates, which is 20.

To convert percentages to decimals, divide the percentage by 100, and remove the percentage.

60% / 100 = 0.60

20% / 100 = 0.20

Then, we multiply 0.60 and 0.20 by 20.

0.60 x 20 = 12

0.40 x 20 = 8

Therefore, Adi gets 12 chocolates and Suresh gets 8 chocolates.
