Answer:
Let the additional weight that can be added be = x
Current weight of the bag = 38 pounds
Total weight can be = 50 pounds
The equation becomes:
38+x < or equal 50
x < or equal 50-38=12
Hence, a weight of 12 pounds cab be added to the current wight.
Answer:
40%
Step-by-step explanation:
First you take $19 - $65 to get $26
Then: 26 ×100= 2600÷ 65= 40%
80% of (Cost) = $68
80% is also 0.8:
0.8 x Cost = $68
dividing each side by 0.8
Cost = 68 / 0.8 = 85 = $85
