82.4+108.6=191 and 12052.1 divided by 191=63.1
So the answer is 63.1
Answer:
x/100 x 8 = 6
8x/100 = 6
x100 x100
8x = 600
Divide by 8 on both sides:
X = 75
Consider a percent out of 100. 'Of' meaning multiplication. 'is' meaning equal to that number.
(unknown number/percent)x/100 x 8(of 8) = 6(is 6)
To find this, turn the word question into an equation.
"One less than" means - 1, which is 1 being subtracted from something.
"half a number" means 1/2x, since 1/2 is half and x is unknown.
"is 12" means = 12, which is something equals 12.
Putting this in order would be 1/2x, then - 1, then = 12.
As an equation, this is 1/2x - 1 = 12.
So the equation is 1/2x - 1 = 12
Now you must find the number by solving this equation.
1/2x - 1 = 12
First, add 1 to both sides.
12 + 1 = 13
1/2x = 13
Now multiply both sides by 2.
This way, x will be isolated since 1/2x • 2 = 1x, and 1x = x.
13 • 2 = 26
x = 26
The number is 26.
179 and 180
consecutive numbers have a difference of 1 between them
let the 2 numbers be n and n + 1, then
n + n + 1 = 359
2n + 1 = 359 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
2n = 358 ( divide both sides by 2 )
n = 179 and n + 1 = 179 + 1 = 180
the 2 pages are 179 and 180
