300 cookies were ordered to start.
We can tell this because we know 12% is equal to 36. Because this is true, we can set up a proportion to solve. All proportions can be set up with the small number on top and the total on the bottom. This will help you solve for the missing number, which is in this case the total number of cookies. Let x be the total number of cookies.
Percentage/total percentage = cookies/cookies total
12/100 = 36/x
Now we can cross multiply to solve.
(100)(36) = (12)(x) ----> multiply
3600 = 12x ---> divide by 12
300 = x
Answer:
3) 14
Step-by-step explanation:
in the given equation replace the "g(x)" with the provided "20"
20=2(x-4) solve as usual
divide each side by 2
10=x-4
add 4 to each side
14=x
the value of x is 14
Answer: The greatest depth of the Southern Ocean is 7.24
Step-by-step explanation:
So, if you add all the greatest depths up, you get 33.23
(33.23 + x)/5 = 8.094
Multiply each side by 5
33.23 + x = 40.47
Subtract 33.23 from each side
x = 7.24
You can check this by adding all the numbers up and dividing them by 5
40.47/5 = 8.094
$1.40 - price from a supplier = 100%
100% + 80% = 180% = 1,8 - the retail price
1,40 * 1,8 = $2,52 - the retail price
100% - 25% = 75% = 0,75 - on sale for 25% off
2,52 * 0,75 = $1,89 - the sale price.
