Answer:
49 litres of petrol are needed to travel from town X to town Y and back.
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, first off, the variable X and Y, as well as the distance given (124 km) aren't important pieces of information in this equation. They're only there to throw you off and confuse you.
25L of <em>p</em> (petrol) to make the entire journey. After the engine has been tuned, it requires 2% less <em>p</em> than before it was tuned.
2%/100 = 0.02
0.02 * 25L = 0.5L
25L - 0.5L = 24.5L
Now, don't forget, at the end of the word problem we're asked how many litres of <em>p</em> would be required to travel from <em>x</em> to <em>y</em> <em><u>AND BACK</u></em>. So it's not only 24.5L, it's double that (24.5 * 2 = 49L)
Good luck!!
Answer:
Part A: 90; Part B: 24.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of blueberry muffins is 40% of the total number of muffins.
Part A: There are 36 blueberry muffins. This is 40% of the unknown number of muffins, x; this gives us
36 = 0.4x
Divide both sides by 0.4:
36/0.4 = 0.4x/0.4
90 = x
There were 90 total muffins.
Part B: 40% of the total number of muffins, 60, gives us the unknown number of blueberry muffins:
0.4(60) = x
24 = x
There were 24 blueberry muffins.
Charity donated by Tillman = $3540
Number of employees who donated = 118
Contribution of Tillman = 40%
Let the average contribution of employees be = x
Then the amount contributed by employees = 118x
Then contribution of Tillman =
As Tillman donated 3540 , then
Hence, average contribution by each employee is $75.
Option C is correct.
