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.

N = 875

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>

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

a=2(s-5)

a(your age): 20

Step-by-step explanation:

a stands for your age

s stands for sister

a=2(s-5)

1-substitute 15 for s a=2(15-5)

2- a=2(10)

the 15-5 stands for sisters age minus five which gives you brothers age, 10. You multiply it by two because your brother is half your age.

3-a=20

check your work:

because your brother is 10 and you are 20, he is half your age (10/20 can be simplified to 1/2)

Hope this helped, if you have any other questions please lmk!
