X - first number
x + 36 - second number

x + (x + 36) = 40
2x + 36 = 40    <em>|subtract 36 from both sides</em>
2x = 4  <em>    |divide both sides by 2</em>

<u /><u>x = 2</u>

x + 36 = 2 + 36 =<u> 38</u>

<em><u>Answer: 2 and 38.</u></em>

Avery received $80 in cash for mowing lawns. She did the following with the $80. Put 20% of the $80 into a bank account. Spent 1
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

$48

Step-by-step explanation:

To start off, we know that Avery put 20% of the $80 in her bank account. We can figure out how much 20% of 80 is by multiplying 80 by 20% and then subtracting that number from 80. Remember to switch 20% to its decimal form (20% -> .2).

Step 1) 80 x .2 = 16

Step 2) 80 - 16 = 64

Next, we have to figure out how much 1/4 of the remaining $64 would be. We just simply divide 64 by 4 to figure out how much Avery spent.

Step 3) 64 / 4 = 16

Lastly, since we know Avery spent 16 dollars, we can subtract the 16 from 64 to get our final answer.

Step 4) 64 - 16 = 48

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Regina drank 2/4 gal. of orange juice

Step-by-step explanation:

She starts off at 3/4 which makes the equation: 3/4 - 1/4=x

3/4-1/4 equals 2/4 which gets reduced and simplified to 1/2.

In February, Alec had 1,525 visitors to his website. In March, he had 1,385 visitors to his website. What is the percentage decr
Helga [31]
A proportion box can be used to solve this problem. First, we need to compute the difference or change in the original amount of visitors Alec had (in February) and the new amount of visitors (in March). 

1,525 - 1, 385 = 140

We place this amount (140) in the top left of our box, and we place the original amount (1,525) in the bottom left of our box. We are looking for the percentage decrease, so that box in the upper right will stay empty. The number 100 always goes in the bottom right of our percent proportion box. 

(The attached image will show an example of how to set this up). 

Our last step is to cross multiply and divide. 

140 x 100 = 14,000

14,000 ÷ 1,525 = 9.18

So, the percentage decrease of the number of visitors to Alec's website from February to March was 9.18%.
