OK.  First we have to figure out names for all the numbers you mentioned.

The mysterious number . . . . . call it Q
One fifth of the number . . . . . 0.2 Q
Five times the number . . . . . . 5 Q
Seven times the number . . . . 7 Q

(One fifth plus five times the number) . . . 5.2 Q
(Seven times the number less 18) . . . . . . 7 Q - 18

You said that these last two things are equal, 

so I can write . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  7 Q - 18  =  5.2 Q

Now, subtract  7Q  from each side . . .  -18 = -1.8 Q

Divide each side by  -1.8 . . . . . . . . . .  10 = Q

Expression is equivalent to 486 – 9 + 6 + 33 × 2
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

  549

Step-by-step explanation:

A calculator can give you an equivalent expression.

I might work from the middle outward:

  = 486 -3 +33×2

  = 483 +66

  = (480 +60) + (3 +6)

  = 540 + 9

  = 549

If you invested $250 at 16% interest, how much will you have after 18 years?
Whitepunk [10]
After 1st year: 250$:100%=x$:116%, 250$*116%=x$*100%, x=(250*116)/100=290$. After 1st year I will have 290$
After 2nd year: 290$:100%=x$:116%, x=(290*116)/100=336.4$. After 2nd year I will have 336.4$
After 3rd year I will have (336.4*116)/100=390.224$
After 4th yr: (390.224*116)/100=452.65984$
After 5th yr: (452.65984*116)/100=525.085$
After- 6th yr: 609.1$, 7th yr: 706.556$, 8th yr: 819.605$, 9th yr: 950.742$
10th yr: 1102.86$, 11th yr: 1279.32$, 12th yr: 1484.01$, 13th yr: 1721.45$,

<h3>What are ratio and proportion?</h3>

A ratio is a collection of ordered integers a and b represented as a/b, with b never equaling zero. A proportionate expression is one in which two items are equal.

The equation is given below.

12.5 mg : 5 mL = 24 mg : x mL

Then the value of x will be

12.5 / 5 = 24 / x

          x = (24 × 5) / 12.5

          x = 9.6 mL

More about the ratio and the proportion link is given below.
