Theres only 4 but the answer is -15
2/5 were sold in the morning. This is equal to 40% of the total. That leaves 60% leftover.
3/4 were sold in the afternoon. This is equal to 75% of the 60% leftover or 45% of the total (.6x.75).
The difference between the two sales is 24 cartons or 5% (45%-40%). If 5% is equal to 24 then you can cross multiply to see what is the equivalent number of cartons out of 100%.
5/100 = 24/x
5x = 24(100)
5x = 2400
x = 480
ANSWER: 480 cartons
In the fomr
ax+by=c
-a/b=slope
4x-8y=11
a=1
b=-8
slope=-4/-8=4/8=1/2
Answer:
b = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
6b+14=−7−b
6b+14=−7+−b
6b+14=−b−7
Step 2: Add b to both sides.
6b+14+b=−b−7+b
7b+14=−7
Step 3: Subtract 14 from both sides.
7b+14−14=−7−14
7b=−21
Step 4: Divide both sides by 7.
b= -3
