Answer: 60

Step-by-step explanation: To answer the question 33 is 55% of what number, we translate the question into an equation.

"33 is" that's 33 = 55% which we need to write as a decimal and we can do this by moving the decimal point 2 places to the left to get .55 and "of what number" means times <em>x</em>.

Now to solve for <em>x</em>, we isolate the <em>x</em> by dividing both sides of the equation by .55. On the right, the .55's cancel each other and we are left with <em>x</em>. On the left, we have 33 ÷ .55 which is 60.

Therefore, 33 is 55% of 60.

Because percentage is the numerator divided by the denominator of a fraction times one-hundred, we can set up this equation:

\frac{33}{x} =0.55

Now, we cross multiply.

33= 0.55x

Next, we divide both sides by 0.55 to get x by itself.

x = 60

So, 33 is 55% of 60.

Samantha Cruz has 200 coins (quarters and dimes). She has $44.00. Write a system of equations and determine how many quarters= _
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

how many coins:  d + q = 200

value of the money  .10d + .25q = 44

(ten cents for each dime and 25 cents for each quarter)

Now to solve by elimination:

1)multiply the first row by -10 so that the dimes will cancel out.

-.10d + -.10 q = 20   (don't do anything to second row)

.10d +  .25q = 44

2) now add those up.

the dimes cancel out.

.15 q = 64

that does not divide evenly so there is something wrong with this problem.

find the length of a rectangular lot with a perimeter of 140 m if the length is 6 m more than the width.
satela [25.4K]
The width would be x.
the length would be x+6
there are two of each (since it’s a rectangle)
so x+x+x+6+x+6=140
simplify
x= 32
l= 38
w= 32
