So for this you need to find 15% of 60. There are a few ways to do this but I prefer to do it like this.
First, find 10% of 60. This can be found by dividing 60 by 10, because 100%/10% is 10.
This gives 10%=6
5% is half of 10%, so divide your answer for 10% (6), by 2.
This gives 5%=3
We needed 15%, so we add our 10% and 5% together, to get 9.
15% of 60 is 9, meaning there are 9 puppies.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
x = 41 and y = 76
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
this is the most that you can factor it... is there anything more to the q?
There are two ways to approach this question. The first is to divide both sides of the equation by 1/4, which is the same as multiplying by 4.
4*(-10)=4*(1/4)(8y-12)
-40=1(8y-12)
-40=8y-12
-40+12=8y-12+12
-28=8y
-28/8=8y/8
-3.5=y
Another method is to distribute 1/4 to each term within the parentheses.
-10=8y*(1/4) - 12*(1/4)
-10=2y - 3
-10+3=2y - 3 +3
-7=2y
-7/2= 2y/2
-3.5=y
I hope this is helpful!
