N% x 1.60 = 6 (I turned it from English to math)
Can't move n% back two places to make it a decimal so I will move the number I am multiplying by n% back two places instead.
Here is a sample to show you why it works. .34 x 57 = 34 x .57

So
.016n = 6 (.016 is 1.60 decimal moved back two places)

Now divide both sides by .016
.016n = 6
.016 .016 n = 375%

Why is the percent over 100% you might ask?

What % of 1.60 is 1.60 (Answer - all of it or 100%)
So What % of 1.60 is 6 - the number 6 being much bigger than 1.60, it is not surprising that the percent is more than 100.

What % of 1.60 is 1.60 - 100%
What % of 1.60 is 3.20 - 200% (notice that 3.20 is twice 1.60)
What % of 1.6 is 4.80 - 300% (notice that 4.80 is three times 1.60)
What % of 1.6 is 6.40 - 400% (notice that 6.40 is four times 1.60)
6 (the number in the problem) is just a bit less than 6.40 so 375% makes a lot a sense.
Hope you found this helpful.

Mr. Rijo bought 49 bags of soil one week and 28 bags of soil the next week. Which expression correctly applies the

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

49 + 28 = 7(7 + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

49 bags of soil one week

28 bags of soil the next week

49 + 28 bags of soil purchased in total

Find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) of 49 and 28.

49/7 = 7

28/7 = 4 (GCF is 7 since it is the largest number that can divide both 49 and 28 equally)

Factor out the GCF + rewrite division above (optional for visualization)

49/7 = 7 -> 49 = 7 * 7

28/7 = 4 -> 28 = 7 * 4

49 + 28 = 7(7 + 4)

Let me know if you have any questions!
