Remark
The trick to this question is realizing what you took 1/3 of. Did you take it of the 150000 or is it 1/3 of some total you have to find. I don't think you could come up with a third choice. 

It turns out that the answer is 1/3 of a number you don't know.

Equation
(1/3) x = 150000 Multiply both sides by 3
3*(1/3) x = 150000 * 3
x = 150000 * 3
x = 450000

Conclusion
The amount the company makes is 450000 dollars / year.

The difference between 32.6 and a number is 10.2. Which equation can be used to solve this problem? 32.6 minus y = 10.2 y minus
guapka [62]

Answer:

32.6 - y= 10.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to solve this problem can be written as

32.6 - y= 10.2

Where y is the number that was substracted from 32.6.

If we make y subject of formula we have

y= (32.6-10.2)

y=22.4

Which means the number that was substracted from 32.6 is 22.4 and there difference is 10.2
