Answer:
420% of 85 = 357
Step-by-step explanation:
85/x=100/420
(85/x)*x=(100/420)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
85=0.23809523809524*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.23809523809524) to get x
85/0.23809523809524=x
357=x
x=357
3 1/2 = 7/2
so y+7/2 = 6
y=6-7/2 = 12-7 / 2 = 5/2 = 2 1/2
Let's give Cindy's age a variable.
Cindy's age = x
Cindy multiplies her age by 5
x(5)
Subtracted by 12
x(5) - 12
Divide by 3
(5x - 12)/3
The result was 16
(5x - 12)/3 = 16
Let's solve
Multiply both sides by 3
(5x - 12) = 48
Open brackets
5x - 12 = 48
Add 12 to both sides
5x = 60
Divide by 5 on both sides to isolate x
x = 12
Cindy is 12 years old.
