Yes they are equivalent. You get -3 when you try solving the actual equation.
Not exactly. there are still 40 percent of the employees that are not top performers. for all you know those 40 percent could make up the majority of the employees in the training program<span />
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The ratio of mixture of sand and cement is 5:3
If the total volume of mixture is 
Suppose there is 5x and 3x cubic centimeter of sand and cement respectively i.e.

Sand 
So, there is
of sand in the mixture
Let x = amount of mortgage (aka the amount by the bank)
25% of the monthly income of $3000 is 0.25*3000 = 750 dollars
So using this rule, the family can pay up to $750 per month on mortgage
1% of the amount loaned (x) is equal to this figure, so
0.01*x = 750
0.01*x/0.01 = 750/0.01
x = 75000
Therefore, the most expensive mortgage this family can afford is $75,000. Anything higher and they go over budget.
The answer is -7/12! Please mark me brainest! :)
