Look at the picture.
Therefore we have the equation:
10y - 29 = 7y + 19 <em>add 29 to both sides</em>
10y = 7y + 48 <em>subtract 7y from both sides</em>
3y = 48 <em>divide both sides by 3</em>
y = 16
3x + 7 = 5x - 21 <em>subtract 7 from both sides</em>
3x = 5x = -28 <em>subtract 5x from both sides</em>
-2x = -28 <em>divide both sides by (-2)</em>
x = 14
Answer:
discount = 9
new price = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
The discount is the price times the discount percent
45 * 20%
Change to decimal form
45*.20
9
The new price is the original price minus the discount
45-9 = 36
Answer:
800
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up a proportion using the information we are given. We know that 240 students corresponds to 30% and that the total number of students, x, corresponds to 100%
Cross multiply and solve:
240 * 100 = 30x
24000 = 30x
800 = x
