A=12
120% of a =80% of b
120%a = 80%b
120a/100 = 80b/100
Divide through by 100
120a = 80b
Divide through by 80
120a/80 = b
But a=12
120x 12/80 = b
18 = b
b = 18
a+b = 12 + 18 = 30
If a+b= 2+11 then your sum will be 13.
heres an example...
If you have eleven dollars and I give you 2 more you can simply count up 2 more from 11 leaving you at 13.
you're welcome.
Here, you just want to solve it by finding a common denominator.
1/5+2/7, because she read 1/5 and 2/7 of the book on separate days. The common denominator is 35.
7/35+10/35
=17/35
So that's how much of the book she read before Saturday.
Now it says that on Sunday she read 5/9 of the remaining pages, meaning:
1-17/35 should give us our answer
35/35-17/35=18/35
But since it says she read 5/9 of the remaining pages, we need to multiply 18/35 by 5/9 to get what 5/9ths of 18/35 is.
(18/35)(5/9)=2/7
Therefore she read 2/7ths of the book on Sunday.
Answer:
x = 6, y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
24/4 = 6
x = 6
= (5x6)+8y=14
= 8y = 14 -30
8y = -16
y = -16/8
y = -2
Check: 5x6+8x-2= 14
