I think it would be 300, because 15% of x=45, so .15x=45, x= 45/.15=300
The answer actually is 28. But I think you should give the other guy brainliest.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The capacity of smaller cooler = 7.5 gallons
The capacity of bigger cooler = 37.5 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Let smaller cooler's capacity be x gallons
Hence
Larger cooler's capacity will be 5x gallons
Together, they will hold 45 gallons, thus we can write:
x + 5x = 45
Solving:
x + 5x = 45
6x = 45
x = 45/6 = 7.5
And 5x = 5(7.5) = 37.5
The capacity of smaller cooler = 7.5 gallons
The capacity of bigger cooler = 37.5 gallons
1/3 or 3/9 or 9/27
I hope this helps
