To solve this, create an equation that follows 45% of a value is 18. This would look like x*.45=18. Now, solve for x, x*.45=18, divide by .45, x=18/.45=40, making your value 40. To check, plug in your value to the equation 40*.45=18 and see if it stays true.
I believe it's 3 because 4 times 3 equals 12 and 12 plus 8 equals 20!
4(3)+8=20
Hoped this helped! :)
Answer:
5 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
* is multiplication
1 3/4 is 1.75
so
24/1.75 = 72/×
1.75 * 72 = 24 * x
126 = 24x
24x = 126
x = 5.25 or 5 1/4
Nick had 3 1/4 bottles before, and he had 1 2/4 bottles left, so that means
3 1/4 - 1 2/4 = 1.75
1.75= 1 3/4.
So, I do not agree with nick.
Hope this helps!!! :)
