Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Consecutive integers just means like one after another.
This means that:
First number = x
Second number = x + 1
Third number = x + 2
They've told us that the sum of 3 consecutive integers is 78.
First number + second number + third number = 78
Sub the equations we wrote into the formula above and we get:
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 78
Gather the like terms.
3x + 3 = 78
Subtract 3 from both sides.
3x = 78-3 = 75
Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x.
x = 75/3 = 25
If you look at the very beginning we said that the first number = x.
Therefore it is 25.
Second number = x + 1 = 26
Third number = x + 2 = 27
Answer: OK, the answer is 28.
Step-by-step explanation: Also there is no remainder for this division problem, you could have the remainder if the numbers are not the same as a multiplication problem, so did you get it?
Answer:
711.11
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Method 1 </h3>
If 777 is decreased by 12%. the number would now be (100% - 12%) 88% of what it was originally
0.88 x 777 = 683.76
683.76 is increased by 4%. 683.76 would now be (100 + 4%) 104% of what it originally was
683.76 x 1.04 = 711.11
<h3>Method 2 </h3>
12% x 777 =
0.12 x 777 = 93.24
777 - 93.24 = 683.76
4% x 683.76 = 27.3504
683.76 + 27.3504 = 711.11
