50 wells drilled are 25% of the total wells. Therefore, 1% (which is one twenty-fifth of 25%) of the wells is:
50 wells /25= 2 wells.

2 wells are 1% of the total wells. Therefore, 100% (which is 100 times as much as 1%) of the wells are:
2 wells *100= 200 wells.

Conclusion: The total number of wells that were drilled is 200 wells.

Hope this would help~

25% is equal to 100/25=1/4

We can substitute this into an equation to get the total number of wells where n can be equal to the total number of wells.

1/4*n=50
n/4=50
n=50*4
n=200

The total number of wells that were drilled was 200.

Find two numbers that multiply to 16 and also add to -8
mash [69]

Answer:

-4,-4

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be x and y.

x+y=-8

y=-x-8

xy=16

x(-x-8)=16

-x²-8x=16

x²+8x+16=0

x²+4x+4x+16=0

x(x+4)+4(x+4)=0

(x+4)(x+4)=0

x=-4,-4
