Answer:
I believe that 4 1/2 divided by 6 is the correct answer.
(It is the same as the expression you wrote next to "Regular." It is correct because it does not include an equal sign and correctly expresses the problem.)
Note: Do not include any work below the arrow when writing in the "Expression" section.
Please let me know if this is incorrect.
The total weight of candies is unknown. Let x = the total weight of candies.
"One student ate 3/20 of all candies and another 1.2 lb":
The first student ate (3/20)x plus 1.2 lb which is 0.15x + 1.2.
"The second student ate 3/5 of the candies and the remaining 0.3 lb."
The second student ate (3/5)x and 0.3 lb which is 0.6x + 0.3.
Altogether the 2 students ate 0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3.
That was all the amount of candies, so that sum equals x.
0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3 = x
Now we solve the equation for x to find what the total amount of candies was.
0.75x + 1.5 = x
-0.25x = -1.5
x = 6
The total amount of candies was 6 lb.
The first student ate 0.15x + 1.2 = 0.15(6) + 1.2 = 0.9 + 1.2 = 2.1, or 2.1 lb of candies.
The second student ate 0.6x + 0.3 = 0.6(6) + 0.3 = 3.6 + 0.3 = 3.9, or 3.9 lb of candies.
Answer: The first student ate 2.1 lb of candies, and the second student ate 3.9 lb of candies.
Answer:
7.5c = X
x = one of the friends
Step-by-step explanation:
If you need an explanation, I can show it here ;w;
You could put 70/100 and cross multiple with x/5,000 first multiple 5,000 by 70 then divide by 100 meaning x=3,500
Answer: See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Ally served 40% of the customers
Benny served 27%
Percentage served by Charli will be:
= 100% - (40% + 27%)
= 100% - 67%
= 33%
That night 60% of Ally's customers ordered pie, while 40% did not. Of Benny's customers, 20% ordered pie.
The percent that did not will be:
= 100% - 20%
= 80%
