Jerome makes 1/3 of the whole profit. So to find the overall profit of the company, multiply his profit by 3.
If he makes $150,000 this is how you would solve:
150,000•3= $450,000
450,000 dollars is your answer.
The dot is just a multiplication sign.
The coefficient of x in the equation is 1/(300 grams). Multiply by the reciprocal of that, which is (300 grams).
x = (300 grams)×(2 grams)/(100 grams) = (300×2/100) grams = 6 grams
_____
This is the way you solve any equation where x is multiplied by some value in the only term on one side of the equal sign.
