Answer:800

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a percentage, convert to decimal and put it over 100. (69/100)

Then we perform "cross multiplication" where we try to find our b if (a/b = c/d [and our c/d is our percentage*]).

So ([552]/b)= (69/[100])

We obtain (ad/b) = c, which is (55200/b)=69.

We then divide ad by our c, (55200/69=800), our b=800.

Therefore, 552 is 69% of 800.

A bag contains white matarles and red marables,126 in total.The number of whit marables is 6 more than 5 than 5 times the number

denis-greek [22]

Answer:106

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of white marbles be w

Let number of red marbles be r

w+r = 126---------1

w = 6 +5r-----------2

Put eqn 2 in eqn 1

6+ 5r + r = 126

6 + 6r = 126

6r = 120

r = 20

w = 6 +5r =6+100

= 106
