let "a number" = x

a number is divided by 3 => x/3

14 is added to the quotient => (x/3) + 14

The result is 33 => " = 33"

Solve for x

(x/3) + 14 = 33

Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side you do the other.

Subtract 14 from both sides

(x/3) + 14 (-14) = 33 (-14)

x/3 = 19

Isolate the x. Multiply 3 to both sides

x/3(3) = 19(3)

x = 19(3)

x = 57

57 is your original number

hope this helps

At a school, 177 students play a sport. This is 60% of the students that go to the school. How many students are at the school?
TEA [102]

Answer:

the answer is 205

Step-by-step explanation:

%/100 X is/of  177 IS 60% of the students. so you put 60/100 and multiply 177/X  177X100=17700. Now divide that by 60 and you come up with 28.33.  This obviously is not the answer so you add 28 (does not round up to 29) to 177 and you get 205.

Amelia is getting a new rug put in her room that she picked out at Home Depot. Her room is 8.5 feet wide and 12.3 feet long. If
Kipish [7]

Answer:

$355.47 cents.

Step-by-step explanation

since you want to find the square footage of the entire room, hence Home Depot costs $3.40 per square foot, you would clearly need to find the area.  Basically find what 8.5 * 12.3 is and then multiply that number by 3.40. Once that is done, put a dollar sign on the answer and BOOM, you got it. :)

so $355.47 cents.
