Answer:

The number is 875

Step-by-step explanation:

Step One:

Convert 40% to a decimal --> .40

Step Two

525 = n - .40n

(525 is equal to a number minus forty percent of a number )

Step Three

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

Answer:

875

Step-by-step explanation:

lets assume the original amount X

the new amount = X - ( X × 40% )

525 = (60 × X) ÷ 100

X = ( 525 × 100 ) ÷ 60

<u>X = 875</u>

Solve the following word problems.
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a , b , c & d be the no. of chairs in hall A , B , C & D respectively.

Given,

b = 4a

c = a + 15

d = a + 8 + 4a = 5a + 8

Now,

Total no. of chairs (T) = a + b + c + d

                                   = a + 4a + a + 15 + 5a + 8

                                   = 11a + 23

Now,

Average chairs in each hall (Avg) = T/4

                                                       = (11a + 23)/4
