Answer: x= 2.5, y = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>I'm going to assume that these photocopies are proportional in relations to each other.</em></u>
If they're proportional, you can set up two proportions:

And cross-multiply:

Then solved for x and y:

M<7 + m<8 + m<9 = m<EAD
31 + 22 + m<9 = 102
53 + m<9 = 102
m<9 = 49
There are 30 days in April.
If 18 days had rain, it means 12 didn't.
18/30=x/100
Make sure both fractions can be made into fractions with a denominator of 100:
180/300=x/100
Divide 180/300 by 3:
60/100=x/100
This shows that the 18 days that did rain take up 60% of the whole month.
So then the remaining 12 days that didn't have rain must take up 40% of the month.
Solution:
40% of the days did not have rain during the month of April

9x-3=42
9x=42+3
9x=45
9x/9=45/9
x=5
