If you choose 10 swimmers and 4 are Stingrays, you can say that Stingrays make up roughly 40% of the swimmers. If 20 Stingrays make up 40% of all the swimmers, we just have to find what number 20 is 40% of. That’s easy enough by cross multiplication:
20/x = 40/100
20/x = 4/10
20/x = 2/5
x = 50.
Double check by multiplying 50 * 0.4. Since 50 * 0.4 = 20, we know we have the right answer. There are about 50 swimmers on this team.
For this, the equation is
90× 1.13³=y
X was replaced with y. Since she is gaining, you have to remember she is going to have 100 percent of what he had before, she will not lose any.
90× 1.13= 129.86
Now, we need to find the amount of interest she gained, so we have to subtract 90 from the total.
129.86-90=39.86
We can also find the answer by completing a small chart.
The first column will be the year. The second will be the amount. The third will be the interest for the year.
1 90 11.7
2 101.7 13.22
3 114.92 14.94
The total would round to 39.86, so her interest for the 3 year would be 39.86, with her having 129.86 altogether.
The final answer would be:
9x / (x-8)
The exact steps are shown in the attached picture.
Note that when dividing two fractions, we convert the division into multiplication and flip the second term.
Less by far because 3.5 cups would be less than half
Answer:25x=320=12.8
Step-by-step explanation:
a number=x
x*25=25x
25x=320
320/25=12.8
x=12.8
