Answer:

Correct option: (d) 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be denoted by <em>x</em>.

The original fraction is: \frac{29}{62}

Add <em>x</em> to the numerator, i.e. 29 and subtract 2<em>x</em> from the denominator, i.e. 62.

The new fraction is: \frac{29+x}{62-2x}

Now equate the new fraction to \frac{3}{4} and solve for <em>x</em> as follows:

     \frac{29+x}{62-2x}=\frac{3}{4}

4(29+x)=3(62-2x)\\116+4x=186-6x\\4x+6x=186-116\\10x=70\\x=7

The value of <em>x</em> is 7.

Thus, the correct option is (d).

Fofino [41]

Answer:

m/(1 - .8)

Step-by-step explanation:

She read 80% of her emails, which is .8 of the total.  So her unread emails would be 100% - 80% = 1 - .8

that means me can be written as:

m = (1 - .8)t

where t is the total

If we solve for t, we get:

t = m/(1 - .8)
