ANSWER: 46.8
39% of 120
The word "of" means multiplied. So you will have to multiply 39% x 120
To do that, first step is to change the percent (39%) into a decimal
39% = 0.39 (You move the decimal twice to the left, not right)
There's an invisible decimal behind 9 so ALWAYS move it twice.
= 39(.)⇒ 0.39
Then your final step is to multiply
120 x 0.39
1 2 0
x 0 . 3 9 ← notice this decimal
_______ ∨
1 0 8 0 ∨
+ 3 6 0 0 ∨
_______ ∨
4 6 8 0 There's an invisible decimal before the 0. Move that decimal two times to the left. 4680(.)⇒ 46.8
Use substitution
x -4x - 7 = 2
-3x = 9, x = -3
Y = -4(-3) - 7
Y = 12 - 7, y = 5
Solution: x = -3, y = 5
z equals -1 because 8 time negative one equals negative 8 plus 8 equals 0
3 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the number of weeks, we have to equate the amount already saved and planned to save by both each week.
So we can write the expression as,
Let w be the number of weeks.
25 + 5w =16 + 8w
Grouping the terms as,
25 - 16 = 8w - 5w
9 = 3w
Dividing both sides by 3, we will get,
3w/3 = 9/3
w = 3
So number of weeks = 3
