Answer:
$2337.5
Step-by-step explanation:
5500x5x8.5/100
=$2337.5
20% are cats.
20 cats/300 total animals=0.2
0.2 is the same thing as 20%.
Let the required number is 2x ,
According to the condition,
➡ 10 times the sum of half of 2x and 6 = 8

Therefore the value of x is -5.2
And, required number is -5.2
The variable in this equation is b, therefore we have to calculate the value of b.
-38=2b+25-(-7b)
-38=2b+25+7b
2b+7b=-38-25
9b=-63
b=-63/9
b=-7
Answer: the value of the variable is b=-7
We can check it out this answer:
-38=2b+25-(-7b)
-38=2(-7)+25-(-7(-7))
-38=-14+25-49
-38=-38
