Answer:

$3 - a$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that when you add two numbers together the result is 3.

The greater of the number is given as a.

Let "x" represent that lesser number.

Thus:

$a + x = 3$

To make x the subject of the formula. Subtract a from both x.

$a + x - a = 3 - a$

$x = 3 - a$

Therefore, the expression that represents the lesser number, x, is:

$3 - a$

The number of students in Mrs. Patrick's piano class decreased by 15% in 2 years to 17 students. How many students did she have

guapka [62]

Answer:

20 students

Step-by-step explanation:

If the class decreased by 15%, the students that she has now (17) represents a percentaje of:

100% - 15% = 85%

so the 17 students are 85% of what she had:

Students Percentage

17 ⇒ 85%

and we are looking for how many students she had 2 years ago, thus we are looking for the 100% of students (the original number of studens). If we represent this number by x:

Students Percentage

17 ⇒ 85%

x ⇒ 100%

and we solve this problem using the rule of three: multiply the cross quantities on the table( 17 and 100) and then divide by the remaining amount (85):

x = 17*100/85

x = 1700/85

x=20

2 years ago she had 20 students

A 6-pack of capri-Suns costs $8.80 .How much would a 24-pack cost if the costs are proportional

andrew11 [14]

Now, in a 6-pack, there are 6 bottles, 6-pack.

in a 24-pack, there are 24 bottles, 24-pack.

so, if 6 bottles, cost 8.80, how much will it be for 24 bottles then?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
bottles&price\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
6&8.80\\
24&p
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{6}{24}=\cfrac{8.80}{p}\implies p=\cfrac{24\cdot 8.80}{6}$
