Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
6 divided by 3/8=6*8/3=48/3=16
For this case you can solve the problem by applying a simple rule of three in which we have
520 ---> 100%
800 ---> x
Clearing x we have
x = (800/520) * 100 = 154%
the percentage increase in cost was
154-100 = 54%
answer
the percentage increase in cost was 54%
Answer:
1/7 or 14.3%
Step-by-step explanation:
30% of 750 = 225 (females who study chemistry)
60% of 2250 = 1350 (males who study chemistry)
1575 = total students studying chemistry
P (female chemistry student) = 225/1575 = 1/7 (simplified)
1/7 = 14.3%
Answer: x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Set the two given expressions equal to each other (because the problem says they are interchangeable)
-5x = -40+3x
2. Subtract 3x from -5x to have x on one side of the equation.
-8x = -40
3. Divide each side by -8 to get the value of x.
x = 5
