Add 20 to 24 and divide everything by 4
The percent equivalent to 1 / 4 = 25 %.
The percent equivalent to 3 / 4 = 75 %.
25 % x 3 = 75 % ( correct )
The variable for Maggie will be M and 2x-3 be her younger brothers age (<u>Twice her age). </u>We then would turn this into <u>an algebraic problem</u>. (m+2x -3=24).
3x-3=24, we would add 3 to both sides (-3 and 24). 24 + 3 equals 27, we now have to divide -3x and 27 on both sides, which equals <u>9. (x=9)</u>
