Answer:

400 red boxes were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Our output value is 2000.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with x.

Step 3: From step 1 above,2000=100%.

Step 4: Similarly, x=40%.

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

2000=100%

x=40%(2)

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

equations have the same unit (%); we have

2000/x = 100%/40%

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

x/2000 = 40%/100%

x=800

Therefore, 40% of 2000 is 800

and to find 50% just divide by 2

Solve for x. 12(x+11) = 24
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, divide both sides by 12 to isolate the expression, x + 11

12(x + 11)/12 = 24/12

x + 11 = 2

Then, subtract 11 from both sides

x + 11 = 2

  - 11  - 11

x = -9
