Answer:
64
Step-by-step explanation:
of means multiply and is means equals
3/8 * it = 24
Multiply each side by 8/3 to isolate it
3/8*8/3 * it = 24*8/3
it = 64
18 is 40% of all
all=x
percent means parts out of 100
40%=40/100=4/10=2/5
18 is 2/5 of all
18=2/5 of x
'of' means multiply
18=2/5 times x
18=2x/5
multiply both sides by 5
90=2x
divide both sides y 2
45=x
there were 45 apples in the stand
Answer:
n = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
5(n-7)=2(n+14)
Distribute
5n -35 = 2n+28
Subtract 2n from each side
5n-2n -35 = 2n-2n +28
3n-35 =28
Add 35 to each side
3n-35+35 = 28+35
3n = 63
Divide by 3
3n/3 = 63/3
n =21
