To convert % to decimal, always move the decimal 2 places to the left.
examples:
25% = 0.25
100% = 1.00
Answer:
Let x be the discounting price of a surfing lessons per person
Let y be the discounted price of a surfing lessons per person
The cost of taking a surfing lesson and go parasailing is $130
x + y = 130--------------(i)
25 people take
Surfing lessons, and 30 people go parasailing and a total of $3,650 is collected
25x + 30y = 3650--------------(ii)
We solve for y using equ (i):
y = 130 - x ------------(iii)
Substitute equ (iii) to equ (ii) and solve for x
25x + 30(130 - x) = 3650
25x + 390 - 30x = 3650
-5x = -250
-x = 50
We solve for y using equ (iii):
y = 130 - x
y = 130 - 50
y = 80
So, the discounted price to take a surfing lesson is $50 and the discounted price to go parasailing is $80
<span>This is the equation made from the problem where x=mystery number
</span><span>2x+3(x+1)=4(x-1)</span><span>
</span><span>Now let's solve for x!
</span><span>
</span><span>We start by distributing 3 into (X+1)
</span><span>
</span><span>3(x)=3x and 3(1)=3
</span><span>
</span><span>Now our equation is 2x+3x+3=4(x-1)
</span><span>
</span><span>Let's combine both x values on the left side of the equation: 2x + 3x=5x
</span><span>
</span><span>We now have 5x+3=4(x-1)
</span><span>
</span><span>Let's distribute 4 into (x-1)
</span><span>
</span><span>4(x)=4x and 4(-1)=-4
</span><span>
</span><span>Now our equation is 5x+3=4x-4
</span><span>
</span><span>subtract 3 form both sides
</span><span>
</span><span>5x=4x-7
</span><span>
</span><span>subtract 4x from both sides
</span><span>
</span><span>x=-7
</span><span>
</span><span>Yay! So the number she is thinking of is -7!</span><span>

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
just round up to nearest number and 7/8 is 0.87 so it coloser to 1 than half and the others are way to big.
So find the difference between 1995 and 2022 to make it easier
2022-1995=27
so the rephrased question is
when hazel was x years old, she was 25 years older than son gary who was y old at that time (equation is x is 25 more than y or x=25+y)
in 27 years, (this means x+27 and y+27) hazel's age will be 150% of gary's age (x+27= 150% of y+27)
percent means parts out of 100 so 150%=150/100=15/10=1.5
'of' in math means multiply so
the equations are
x=25+y
x+27=1.5(y+27)
subsitute 25+y for x in second euation
25+y+27=1.5(y+27)
add like terms
y+52=1.5(y+27)
I personally dislike decimals to multiply both sides by 2 to make 2 0.5's or 1 (you are technically supposed to distribute or divide both sides by 1.5) so
2y+104=3(y+27)
distribute
2y+104=3y+81
subtract 2y from both sides
104=y+81
subtract 81 from both sides
23=y
subsitute
x=25+y
x=25+23
x=48
Hazel was 48 and Gary was 23 in the year of 1995
