Answer:
35 is the 'is' and 40 is the 'of'
Step-by-step explanation:
is/of = %/100
35/40 = x/100
cross-multiply to get:
40x = 3500
x = 3500/40
x = 87.5
Add the 6x to both sides. Then divide both sides by 2 to get y by itself.
y <= 6x + 42
Note: if it were a -2y, you’d have to flip the inequality sign when dividing by that negative 2.

Answer:
The percentage increase in Jayana's postcard collection is 15%
Step-by-step explanation:
Jayana had 20 postcards last year
With 3 more postcards this year
From the given equation Quantity = Percent x Whole
Here;
Let P = Percent/100%
Quantity = Increment in postcard = 3 postcards
Whole = The total postcards from last year = 20 postcards
Hence,
3 postcards = P x 20 postcards
P = 3/20 = 0.15
Recall P = Percent/100%
∴ Percent = P x 100% = 0.15 x 100% = 15%
The percentage increase in Jayana's postcard collection is 15%
