12% of what number is 20?

Mathematics
1 answer:
vlabodo [156]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

if 20 = 12%, then x = 100%

20 = 12

x = 100

We can solve this using cross multiplication.

20*100 = 12x

2000 = 12x

166.67 = x

Solve the system. find x,y, and z please show all steps<br><br> x-y+z=1<br> x+y+3z=-3<br> 2x-y+2z=0
Mariulka [41]

Solving the system we get, x= -1, y= -2 and z= 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the equations to find x, y and z

x-y+z=1\,\,\,eq(1)\\x+y+3z=-3\,\,\,eq(2)\\2x-y+2z=0\,\,\,eq(3)

Adding eq(1) and eq(2)

x-y+z=1\\x+y+3z=-3\\--------\\2x+4z=-2\,\,\,\,eq(4)\\

Adding eq(2) and eq(3)

x+y+3z=-3\\2x-y+2z=0\\----------\\3x+5z=-3\,\,\,eq(5)

Multiplying eq(4) by 3 and eq(5) by 2

6x+12z=-6\\6x+10z=-6\\-\,\,\,-\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,+\\----------\\2z=0\\z=0

So, value of z =0

Putting value of z in eq(4)

2x+4z=-2\\2x+4(0)=-2\\2x=-2\\x=-1

So, value of x = -1

Now putting value of z=0 and x =-1 in equation 1

x-y+z=1\\-1-y+0=1\\-y=1+1\\-y=2\\y=-2

So, value of y = -2

So, solving the system we get, x= -1, y= -2 and z= 0

3x+2y=10<br> 12x+5y=25<br><br> Solve by substitution or elimination
zaharov [31]
3x + 2y = 10 ....multiply by -4
12x + 5y = 25
-------------------
-12x - 8y = -40 (result of multiplying by -4)
12x + 5y = 25
------------------add
-3y = - 15
y = -15/-3
y = 5

3x + 2y = 10
3x + 2(5) = 10
3x + 10 = 10
3x = 10 - 10
3x = 0
x = 0

solution is (0,5)

??? Anyone know how to answer this question
True [87]
Answer: 35 additional teachers are needed

-------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------

Explanation:

We have 2470 students and the ratio of students to teachers is 26:1. This means that for every teacher, there are 26 students. Put another way, we can set up this ratio

2470/x = 26/1

where x is the number of teachers. Cross multiply and solve for x

2470/x = 26/1
2470*1 = 26*x
2470 = 26x
26x = 2470
26x/26 = 2470/26
x = 95

So we have 95 teachers currently

-------------

Let y be the new number of teachers needed to bring the ratio down to 19:1

Using a similar idea as done above, we would have this ratio

2470/y = 19/1

Let's solve for y
2470/y = 19/1
2470*1 = 19*y
2470 = 19y
19y = 2470
19y/19 = 2470/19
y = 130

So we'll need 130 teachers to have the ratio be 19:1

The difference of the values is y - x = 130 - 95 = 35, which is the final answer. This is the additional amount of teachers needed.
