Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8 subtracted from the number is ...

x -8

and 4/5 of that value is ...

4/5(x -8)

The equation will say this result is 20:

4/5(x -8) = 20

Multiplying by 5/4, we get ...

x -8 = 25

x = 33 . . . . . . add 8

The number, x, is 33.

If blueberries cost $4.00 per pound, how many pounds of blueberries can you buy for $1.00?

Masteriza [31]

If x is the number of berries you can buy with 1 dollar,

1 pound of blueberries = $4.00

x pound of berries = $1.00

Lets set up a proportion- because these are directly proportional- when there is more pounds of berries, it will cost more.

$\frac{1}{4.00} = \frac{x}{1.00}$

Cross multiply

4x=1

Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x

x=1/4 or $0.25
