Answer:

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

John needs $39.00, he has $14 now, and He earns $5 a week working. x= how many hours.

Start by setting the equation,

$39.00= $5x + $14.00

Then solve by

1) subtracting 14 from both sides;

39(-14)= 5x+14(-14), by subtracting 14 on both sides you cancelled out the 14;

39 -14 = 5x becomes $25= 5x (39 -14 =25)

2) divide both sides by 5 to get x alone

25 (/5)=5x (/5) which becomes 25/5=x

3) 25/5 is 5

John must work 5 hours to have enough money to buy his video game.

Find the percent of increase or decrease from the first number to the second number. 140 to 84

tresset_1 [31]

We can automatically see that we are dealing with a percent decrease because we are going from a smaller to a bigger number. We need to first find what percent of 140the number 84 is. to do this we can set up the following equation:

140/84=100/x (this equation is basically saying if 140 is 100(%) what would 84 be?)

solving for x here gives us x = (84 X 100)/140 = 60, so 84 is 60 percent of 140 which means 140 decreased by 40 percent.

Let me know if I can clear anything else up.
