Write it as an equation:
X - 10 = 6x + 3
Now solve for x:
Subtract 3 from both sides:
x-13 = 6x
Subtract 1 x from both sides:
-13 = 5x
Divide both sides by 5:
x = -13/5
Divide 100 by 48 and you should get how many people per percent, then multiply by 100 and boom.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. First, put together the information we have. Total = 121. Emily has 40% more than Carl, and Carl has 60% more than Antony.
2. Next, set each person as a variable. Antony = x. Carl = 1.6x. Emily = 1.4 times 1.6x.
3. Next, form an equation using these variables.
x + 1.6x + (1.4 x 1.6x) = 121
x + 1.6x + 2.24x = 121
4.84x = 121
x = 25
4. Finally, plug in x to our previous variables in step #2 to find the number of stamps Emily and Carl have.
<u>Antony</u>: x = 25 stamps
<u>Carl:</u> 1.6x = 40 stamps
<u>Emily</u>: 1.4 times 1.6x = 56 stamps
By the way, is this for RSM? If so, I am working on that problem right now and I searched up the solution but couldn't find it, so I stumbled upon this. I hope this helped!
