Answer: $5
Step-by-step explanation: This can be represented by the equation
40 + 12T = 25 + 15T
We just solve for T.
Subtract 12T from both sides
40 = 25 + 3T Subtract 25
15 = 3T Divide by 3
5 = T
The second proportion is correct and it will be 6 hours.
280 divided by 7 = 40 pages every night
(28/7=4, add a zero)
Answer: B.$43.95
Explanation: 15% of $293 is $43.95
If you translate this problem literally, it is saying, “72 is what percent of 288?”. And the equational translation of that is 72 = (x/100) • 288
[ “is” means equal to (=) // “what” means x or another variable // “percent” means divided by 100” // “of” means multiplication. ]
Then you solve that equation.
