Clara lends half her collection of formal attires to her sister, Susan. Clara then buys four more attires. If she has 12 attires
now, how many attires did Clara initially?
1 answer:
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of attires Clara has initially = x
lends half her collection of formal attires to her sister
Attires remaining after lending = Number of attires Clara has initially - attires she lent her sister
= x - 1/2x
= 1/2x
Clara then buys four more attires
= 1/2x + 4
If she has 12 attires now
12 = 1/2x + 4
12 - 4 = 1/2x
8 = 1/2x
x = 8 ÷ 1/2
= 8 × 2/1
= 16
x = 16
Number of attires Clara has initially = x = 16

I believe it's a , not sure though
24 = x% * 32
24= x/100 * 32
Multiply 100 on both sides.
2400 = x * 32
32x = 2400
Divide 32 on both sides.
x = 2400/32
x = 75
75 percent<span> of 32 is 24</span>
