Let us first write down the given equation.
80 = 3y + 2y + 4 + 1
80 = 5y + 5
80 - 5 = 5y
75 = 5y
Just reversing both sides we get
5y = 75
Now dividing both sides by 5 we get
y = 15
So the value of y is 15. I hope the procedure for solving the problem is clear to you. In future you can solve such problems with ease following the procedure described.

$80 = 3y + 2y + 4 + 1 \\ \\ 80 = 5y + 4 + 1 \\ \\ 80 = 5y + 5 \\ \\ 80 - 5 = 5y \\ \\ 75 = 5y \\ \\ \frac{75}{5} = y \\ \\ 15 = y \\ \\ y = 15 \\ \\ Answer: \fbox {y = 15}$

23/50 of Zanders friends prefer to stay home on Friday night what percent of Xander's friends prefer to stay home on Friday nigh

koban [17]

Answer:

46% of Xander's friends prefer to stay home on Friday nights.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

$Percentage = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{Total\ value}$

As given

$\frac{23}{50}\ of\ Zanders\ friends\ prefer\ to\ stay\ home\ on\ Friday\ night.$

i.e

Zanders friends prefer to stay home on Friday night = 23

Total numbers of Zanders friends are 50.

Part value = 23

Total value = 50

Put in the formula

$Percentage = \frac{23\times 100}{50}$

$Percentage = \frac{2300}{50}$

Percentage = 46%

Therefore 46% of Xander's friends prefer to stay home on Friday nights.

Half of the tuna sandwich were on white bread. 25% of the ham sandwiches sold were on brown bread.

fgiga [73]

Answer:

The frequency table is shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) Half of the tuna sandwich were on white bread = 21

On brown bread, tuna = 42 - 21 = 21

(ii) 25% of the ham sandwiches sold were on brown bread.

= 25% (32) = 8

On white bread, 32 - 8 = 24

Frequency table:

Tuna Cheese Ham Total

Brown 21 11 8 40

White 21 15 24 60

Total 42 26 32 100

Micah walks on a treadmill at 4 miles per hour. He has walked 2 miles

lana66690 [7]

<span>Let time taken by Luke to cover the distance = x hours Speed of Luke = 6 miles per hour Therefore, Distance covered by Luke = 6x ------(1) Speed of Micah = 4 miles per hour Since Micah walked 2 miles before Luke started running, Luke started 1/2 an hour after Micah started. Therefore time taken by Micah to cover the distance = x+1/2 Distance covered by Micah = 4(x + 1/2) -------(2) Equating (1) and (2) 6x = 4(x+1/2) 6x = 4x +2 2x = 2 x= 1 Therefore Luke would take 1 hour to cover the distance covered by Micah.</span>

A rectangle has an area of 171 square meters. Its width is ten meters less than the length. Find the measures of the length and

9966 [12]

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is 171 m²

Let l is the length and b is the width of the rectangle

It width is 10 m less than the length. So,

b = l-10 ...(1)

Area of a rectangle is given by :

$A=l\times b\\\\171=l(l-10)\\\\l^2-10l=171\\\\l^2-10l-171=0\\\\l^2-19l+9l-171=0\\\\\text{taking common together}\\\\l(l-19)+9(l-19)=0\\\\(l-9)(l-19)=0$

l = 9 m or l = 19 m

If l = 9 m,

b = 9-10 = -1 m (can't be possible)

If l = 19 m

b = 19-10 = 9 m

So, the length an the breadth of the rectangle is 19 m and 9 m respectively.
