You read 2/5 of the remainder on Sunday. That means 3/5 of the remainder are unread (1- 2/5). It is given that 36 pages are unread. Therefore 3/5 of the remainder is equal to 36. Set up equation and solve for x which will be the remainder
3/5x=36
x=36(5/3)
x=60
Answer:
if we take the total cost of the grapes, and divide by the number of pounds of grapes we can conclude that each pound of grapes costs $3. so 5 pounds of grapes multiplied by $3 per pound, gives us $15 for 5 pounds of grapes.
A sum of positive natural numbers adding up to n is called a partition of n. For
instance, 1+2+4 is a partition of 7. As none of the summands 1, 2, 4 are equal, this
is called a partition into unequal parts. Does this help? Because this is all I know :(
24000 + 3000x = 30000 + 2400x
3000x - 2400x = 30,000 - 24,000
600x = 6000
x = 6000/600
x = 10 years
