Answer: 40 books

Step-by-step explanation: 20%=8 Books

100 divided by 20 = 5

8 x 5 = 40

Divide 20% by 100 to obtain its decimal form. Dividing 20% by 100 equals 0.2. Set up an equation as 0.2x = 8 which means 20% of x equals 8. Solve the equation by dividing each side by 0.2, Dividing 0.2 from each side results in x=40 Eight is 20% of 40
So there were 40 books in the room and he took 8 making the books 20% less.

After Lois picks a value for b, Clark must solve the equation 2x + 7 - x = 4x + 2b – 3x - 3b.
puteri [66]

The value of b Lois gave to Clark to satisfy the given equation is -7.

The given parameters;

2x + 7 - x = 4x + 2b – 3x - 3b

To obtain the value of b, simplify the equation as follows;

2x + 7 - x = 4x + 2b – 3x - 3b

<em />

<em>collect similar terms together</em>

<em />

(2x - x) + 7 = (4x - 3x) + (2b - 3b)

x + 7 = x - b

(x - x) + 7 = -b

0 + 7 = -b

7 = -b

-7 = b

b = -7

Thus, the value of b Lois gave to Clark to satisfy the given equation is -7.

Write<br> 83<br> 50<br> as a decimal.
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

0.83,0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 2 digits in 83, the very last digit is the "100th" decimal place.

So we can just say that .83 is the same as 83/100.

So your final answer is: .83 can be written as the fraction
