Answer:
x = 6
One-fourth x + one-half = one-third x
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 x + 1/2 = 1/3 x
1/4 x - 1/3 x = - 1/2
(3x - 4x)/12 = -1/2
-x/12 = -1/2
-x = -12/2
-x = -6
x = 6
In this problem WP means what percent
20 = WP X 160
solve for WP, by dividing both sides by 160
and you get:
0.125 = WP
Change your decimal into a percent by multiplying by 100%
12.5% is your result.
172.50 times .065=11.2125
172.50+11.2125=183.7125
The total price is $183.71
The smaller number is 'x' .
The larger number is (x+ 20)
Their sum is [ x + (x + 20 ]
2x + 20 = 44
Subtract 20 from each side:
2x = 24
Divide each side by 2 :
x = <u>12</u>
and
x + 20 = <u>32</u>
