4 0

Answer:

1000 readers

Step-by-step explanation:

40 people represent 4% of the total number of readers.

4% is 1/25 of 100%, therefore:

4% x 25 = 100%

So, if we multiply the number of people that represent 4% by 25, we will get the total number (100%).

40 x 25 = 1,000

The newspaper has 1000 total readers.

Alternatively, you could also divide 4% (40) by 4 which would give you 1%=10. Multiply this by 100 to get 100% which gives us: 100% = 1000.

Hope this helped!

He may be wrong. If he was wrong, this is the example. 

0 < -10x

If we were to divide both sides by -10, even though the answer would be undefined or just end up as zero, it is just a common rule to always flip the sign whenever you divide or multiply by a negative. 

Don't quote me on it, but I think I'm right.

Hope this helped!

Maslowich

Answer:

  1. Subtract 1 from 17... so you have 4x > 16
  2. Divide 16 by 4 to get x alone... x > 4
  3. Don't flip the sign because you're not dividing by a negative number
  4. The answer is x > 4

If two supplementaryangles are in the ratio 2:3, find the angles.
kramer
The angles are 72 degrees and 108 degrees.

Explanation:

Angle 1 : Angle 2 = 2 : 3
Angle 1 = 2k
Angle 2 = 3k

Angle 1 + Angle 2 = 180 (supplementary angles)
2k + 3k = 180
5k = 180
k = 36

Angle 1 = 2k = 2 x 36 = 72 degrees
Angle 2 = 3k = 3 x 36 = 108 degrees
