Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's your solution

=> (3x - 3)/5 = (2x - 2)/4

=> 4(3x -3) = 5(2x - 2)

=> 12x - 12 = 10x - 10

=> 2x = 2

=> x = 2/2

=> x = 1

Answer:

as mentioned above we have to solve it by cross multiplication.

Step-by-step explanation:

So,

4(3x-3)=5(2x-2)

12x-12=10x-10

12x-10x=-10+12

2x=2

X=2/2=1 Answer

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so first find the og price:

100% - 20% = 80%

so 80% = 200

let the 100% be x:

x * 0.8 = 200

x= 250

100% = 250

(difference/ og price) * 100% = the percentage decrease/ increase

(250-150/250)* 100% = 40%

((the final price/ og price) * 100%) - 100%

((150/250)*100%) - 100% = 40%

There was a 40% decrease from the og price to the final price of 150.

Greta is trying to determine the portion of green candies in various bags of green and yellow candies. Using the information bel

IrinaK [193]

Answer: a) $\dfrac{1}{3}$ b) $\dfrac{71}{100}$ c) $\dfrac{5}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

There are green and yellow candies in each bag.

Bag A: Two thirds of the candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Part of yellow candies in bag A = $\dfrac{2}{3}$

Part of green candies in bag A would be

$1-\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{3-2}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{3}$

Bag B: 29 % of the candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Percentage of candies are yellow = 29%

Portion of candies are green is given by

$1-\dfrac{29}{100}\\\\=1-0.29\\\\=0.71\\\\=\dfrac{71}{100}$

Bag C: 4 out of every 9 candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Portion of yellow candies = $\dfrac{4}{9}$

Portion of green candies would be

$1-\dfrac{4}{9}\\\\=\dfrac{9-4}{9}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{9}$

Hence, a) $\dfrac{1}{3}$ b) $\dfrac{71}{100}$ c) $\dfrac{5}{9}$
