Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number be x %
according to the question the equation is
x% of 15=45
x/100*15=45
15x=45*100
x=4500/15
x=300
therefore x=300%
Answer:
Alexander is incorrect because the expressions are not equivalent.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the expression is evaluated for any value of x, y; the result will not be same.
For instance, let assume x = 1 and y = 2
3x + 4y = 3 + 4 = 7
(3)(4) + xy = (3)(4) + (1 * 2) = 12 + 2 = 14
So, the expressions are not the same and Alexander is incorrect.
Sixty miles over four gallons would reduce down to 15 miles over one gallon which would 15 miles per gallon.
