Answer:

  x = 41 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

(2 1/2)x -(3/4)(2x +5) = 38

(2 1/2)x -(1 1/2)x -15/4 = 38 . . . . use the distributive property

x = 38 +3 3/4 . . . . . . add 15/4

x = 41 3/4

_____

Another way to solve this is to "clear fractions" by multiplying the whole equation by 4:

  10x -3(2x +5) = 152

  4x -15 = 152 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  4x = 167 . . . . . . . add 15

  x = 41 3/4 . . . . . . divide by 4

Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the values from high school athletes (the first row of numbers) to the values of college student athletes (the second row). Since we are only looking for male percentages, ignore the women's basketball

Take any of the college values, and divide it by the high school values. After this, multiply by 100 to get a percentage

Example, 56500 ÷ 983600 = 0.05

0.05 * 100 = 5%

You will get 5% for all males sports in this table

Obasi earns 150%, percent of his regular hourly wage while working overtime. What fraction of his regular hourly wage does Obasi
hammer [34]

Obasi earns 150% of his regular hourly wage while working overtime.

Let us convert percentage into fraction first:

To convert a percentage into fraction we need to use the following formula:

a%=\frac{a}{100}

Here, he earns 150% of his hourly wage while working overtime:

So,

150%==\frac{150}{100} =\frac{3}{2} =1.5

Obasi earns \frac{3}{2} of his hourly earnings or 1.5 times of his hourly earnings while working overtime.
