so we know that 24% of the students buy their lunch at the cafeteria, and 190 students brownbag.
well, 100% - 24% = 76%, so the remainder of the students, the one that is not part of the 24% is 76%, and we know that's 190 of them.
since 190 is 76%, how much is the 24%?
![\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 190&76\\ x&24 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{190}{x}=\cfrac{76}{24}\implies 4560=76x \\\\\\ \cfrac{4560}{76}=x\implies 60=x \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{total amount of students}}{190+60\implies 250}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccll%7D%20amount%26%5C%25%5C%5C%20%5Ccline%7B1-2%7D%20190%2676%5C%5C%20x%2624%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B190%7D%7Bx%7D%3D%5Ccfrac%7B76%7D%7B24%7D%5Cimplies%204560%3D76x%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Ccfrac%7B4560%7D%7B76%7D%3Dx%5Cimplies%2060%3Dx%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20~%5Cdotfill%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7Btotal%20amount%20of%20students%7D%7D%7B190%2B60%5Cimplies%20250%7D)
Answer:
90
Step-by-step explanation:
1/5x+4=1/3x-8
add 8 to both sides and subtract 1/5x from both sides
4+8=1/3x-1/5x
12=5/15x-3/15x
12=2/15x
divide both sides by 2/15
12÷2/15=x
when dividing by a fraction, invert and multiply
12*15/2=x
90=x
CHECK:
1/5(90)+4=1/3(90)-8
18+4=30-8
22=22

Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a rectangle is length*width. So, 200=8(1/2x+5). Dividing by 8, 25=1/2x+5. Subtracting 5, 20=1/2x, multiplying by 2, 40=x.
