Hello there! We are looking for the amount of total sales. To find the amount of total sales, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:
180/x = 3/100
We do this, because 180 is part of the whole, 3% is a part of 100%. This proportion will help us get to the correct answer. Let's cross multiply. 180 * 100 is 18,000. 3 * x is 3x. that makes 18,000 = 3x. Now, divide each side by 3 to isolate the x. 3x/3 cancels out. 18,000/3 is 6,000. Let's check this. 6,000 * 3% (0.030 is 180. 180 = 180. There. x = 6,000. The amount of sales is $6,000.
Answer:
20 gallons of water is leaked after an hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Water is leaking at a constant rate of 1/3 gallon per minute.
a) We have to write a linear equation in two variables that show the amount of water, w, in gallons, that is leaked from the faucet after t minutes.
So, the equation is ......... (1) (Answer)
b) Now, if t = 1 hour i.e. 60 minutes, then from equation (1) we can write
gallons.
Therefore, 20 gallons of water is leaked after an hour. (Answer)
Answer:
