Alright! So to solve these questions, you need to find out the difference. You can use ratios to solve this. For example, question #25:
A class had 30 pupils at the beginning of this school term, but now has 5 more pupils. What is the percent of increase?
The question is basically asking how much 5 is in ratio to 30. So just divide 5 (the given amount) by 30 (the total amount). The answer is 0.16, or 16%
From the question we know that Maria and Josie went to the movies and spent a total amount of money, which should be the price of the tickets added to the price of the snacks.
Knowing that the price of the snacks is $3.75 and the price of the tickets is t, it looks like all that is left is to assign a variable to the total amount of maney they spent at the movies and write out the equation.
If we let the total amount of money they spent be x, then x= t+3.75, whcih should be your answer!
Answer:
30 gallons of 6% milk, and 45 gallons of 1% milk.
Step-by-step explanation:
x=quarts of 6% butterfat
<h2>First, write an equation.</h2>
0.06x+0.01(75-x)=0.03*75
<h2>Multiply both sides by 100.</h2>
0.06x*100+0.01*100(75-x)=100*0.03*75
<h2>Simplify</h2>
6x+75-x=3*75
6x+75-x=225
<h2>Solve</h2>
5x=225-75=150
5x=150
x=30
75-30=45
So, we need 30 gallons of 6% milk, and 45 gallons of 1% milk.
Let the number be x, then
1/5 * x = 2/3 * 90
1/5 x = 60
x = 60 * 5 = 300 (answer)
