3 is in the hundreds place, therefore 3 hundreds or 300
Multiply both sides of the equation by (x+1), on the right hand side the denominator then goes away and on the left hand side you get (x+1)(x+1), foil that out then just solve for x
Answer:
7.5 quarts of olive oil remain.
Explanation:
Let
q = quarts of olive oil remain
<span>25%</span> of olive oil remains means that <span>75%</span> has been used.
22<span>12</span> quarts = 22.5 quarts used
<span><span>22.5.75</span>=<span>q.25</span></span>
Multiply both sides by .25 to isolate q.
<span><span>22.5.75</span><span>(.25)</span>=<span>q.25</span><span>(.25)</span></span>
<span><span>5.625.75</span>=q</span>
<span>7.5=<span>q</span></span>
