Answer: 9 boys
Explanation:
3/11= x/33
11x= 99
x=9
First let’s express the total number of marbles as such:
y(yellow marbles) + r(red marbles)=23; y+r=23
now let’s express the relation of yellow marbles to red marbles:
y=2r(2 times red marbles) - 4(4 less marbles); y=2r-4
since we figured out what y equals, we can plug into the first equation we created:
(2r-4)+r=23
now solve for r:
2r-4+r=23
combine like terms
3r-4=23
add 4 to both sides
3r=27
divide both side by 3
r=9
plug r back into first equation and solve for y:
y+9=23
subtract 9
y=14
there are 9 red marbles and 14 yellow marbles!
Answer:
The answer is J because the line inside the box is at 78
Step-by-step explanation:
Getting the percentage increase, we can form the formula or equation.
Percentage increase = ($1.00 - $0.40) / $0.40 * 100
<span>Percentage increase = ($0.60) / $0.40 * 100
</span><span>Percentage increase = 1.5 * 100
</span><span>Percentage increase = 150%
</span>
So there is a 150% increase from the original price.
In five quarts, we have 2 quarts of acid and 3 quarts of water
total = (2 + 3) = 5 quarts
concentration = 2 / 5
We want a 30% concentration
total volume = 2 + x
.30 = 2 / (2+x)
.6 + .30 x = 2
.30x = 1.4
x = 4.66666 gallons of water
(or we need to add 1.666666 gallons of water)
Double Check:
acid concentration = 2 / (2 + 4.666666)
acid concentration = .30
