300 cookies were ordered to start.
We can tell this because we know 12% is equal to 36. Because this is true, we can set up a proportion to solve. All proportions can be set up with the small number on top and the total on the bottom. This will help you solve for the missing number, which is in this case the total number of cookies. Let x be the total number of cookies.
Percentage/total percentage = cookies/cookies total
12/100 = 36/x
Now we can cross multiply to solve.
(100)(36) = (12)(x) ----> multiply
3600 = 12x ---> divide by 12
300 = x
Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the mean number of coins for the girls is shown below:
Since there are 24 boys and 16 girls so the total children is 40
So the number of coins for all children is
= 40 × 11
= 440
And, the number of coins for all boys is
= 9 × 24
= 216
Now the mean is
= (440 - 216) ÷ 16 girls
= 14
The expression 5x+3 would be three more than five times a number! More than in this case would be addition - so if you get the same problem with subtraction you just change more to less!
Basically what it's tell you is that if x stood for 2 in this case 5*2 = 10 since it's 3 MORE than 5 times a number (x is in place of a number), you're adding 3 to 10 and that gives you 13!
I hope I simplified it a little more and you understand!
Good luck, rockstar! c: I hope this helped!
Answer:
?
Step-by-step explanation:
By difference I think you mean how far away from? I don't really know what you mean by this but I will try to help.
1/2-4=-3 1/2
2-(-3 1/2)=5 1/2
<u>-3 1/2</u>
5 1/2
Above is a fraction.
I hope that I helped. Sorry if it wasn't the answer you were looking for.
the -7 is found there twice, so it has a multiplicity of 2
the +7 is there thrice, so it has multiplicity of 3
