To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.
<span>1. We assume, that the number 150 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task. </span>
<span>2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for. </span>
<span>3. If 150 is 100%, so we can write it down as 150=100%. </span>
<span>4. We know, that x is 16% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16%. </span>
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 150=100%
2) x=16%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
150/x=100%/16%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for what is 16% of 150
150/x=100/16
<span>(150/x)*x=(100/16)*x - </span>we multiply both sides of the equation by x
<span>150=6.25*x - </span>we divide both sides of the equation by (6.25) to get x
<span>150/6.25=x </span>
<span>24=x </span>
x=24
<span>now we have: </span>
<span>16% of 150=24</span>
The total cost of shipping a package with the cost of $15 exclusive if 5% insurance is 15.75 dollars. This is calculate by getting first the 5% of 15 dollars, 15 dollars multiplied by 5%, equal to 0.75 dollars. Then it will be added to the shipping cost of 15, which is equal to 15.75 dollars.
The answer is C.
y = -3x + 2
y = -3x + 4
-3x + 2 = -3x + 4
2 ≠ 4
