Answer:
7.5 quarts of olive oil remain.
Explanation:
Let
q = quarts of olive oil remain
<span>25%</span> of olive oil remains means that <span>75%</span> has been used.
22<span>12</span> quarts = 22.5 quarts used
<span><span>22.5.75</span>=<span>q.25</span></span>
Multiply both sides by .25 to isolate q.
<span><span>22.5.75</span><span>(.25)</span>=<span>q.25</span><span>(.25)</span></span>
<span><span>5.625.75</span>=q</span>
<span>7.5=<span>q</span></span>
Most of the information's are already given in the question. It is important to understand the language of the problem for solving the problem. Once the language is understood, then solving the problem is easy.
Let us assume the number of black jelly beans = x
Number of yellow jelly beans = y
Then from the question we can get to a equation.
3x - 7 = y
We also know from the question that
x + y = 225
x + 3x -7 = 225
4x = 225 + 7
4x = 232
x = 232/4
= 58
So Cassidy has 58 black jelly beans out of the total of 225 jelly beans
-103
if he lost the same weight each week that means -412 (the weight he lost) ÷ 4 (number of weeks) = -103 (amount of weight lost in one week)
X+y=2 (label equation one)
x-y=4 (label equation two)
y=-x+2 (equation one rearranged, label this equation equation three)
sub 3 into 2
x-(-x+2)=4
x+x-2=4
2x-2=4
2x=6
x=3
sub x=3 into equation one
3+y=2
y=-1
therefore x=3 and y=-1
