195 candies are not cherry flavored. Since 15% are cherry flavored then 85% would not be. 85% of 230 is 195.5, however, there are no halves in a candy so it would be 195 candies.
Answer:
x=50
Step-by-step explanation:
You must work backwards to isolate and find the answer, first making an equation and setting the unknown number as a variable, x. The answer is then the isolated value of x.
x/2+8 = 33
x/2 = 33-8
x/2 = 25
x/2(2) = 25(2)
Start by creating an equation. You’ll need a variable to represent what is earned per week, for example x.
So,
420=60+9x
(Since he already has 60)
Subtract the 60 from 420 to begin isolating the variable
This gives you
360=9x
Divide both sides by 9 to completely isolate the variable
This gives you
40=x
So, he needs to save up $40 each week
