Using the equations y-3x=3 and x+y=31 you can find that x=7 and y=24. There for x is the smaller of the two numbers.
Answer:
5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the values from high school athletes (the first row of numbers) to the values of college student athletes (the second row). Since we are only looking for male percentages, ignore the women's basketball
Take any of the college values, and divide it by the high school values. After this, multiply by 100 to get a percentage
Example, 56500 ÷ 983600 = 0.05
0.05 * 100 = 5%
You will get 5% for all males sports in this table
All percentages can be expressed as fractions or decimals. To find a percentage of a number, we multiply the percentage with the number. In this case:
3/100 * 16/1 = 48/100 = 0.48
Or:
0.03 * 16 = 0.48
Her new hourly wage would be $16.48
The variable for Maggie will be M and 2x-3 be her younger brothers age (<u>Twice her age). </u>We then would turn this into <u>an algebraic problem</u>. (m+2x -3=24).
3x-3=24, we would add 3 to both sides (-3 and 24). 24 + 3 equals 27, we now have to divide -3x and 27 on both sides, which equals <u>9. (x=9)</u>
There are a few ways you can go about solving this question. One way is to use the given information to find how many tons of flour can be processed in one hour. If 27 tons can be processed in 3 hours, we can do 27 divided by 3 to find that 9 tons of flour can be processed per hour. Then, if we want to see how many tons of flour can be processed in 8 hours, we can multiply 9 tons by 8 hours to get a total of 72 tons of flour.
I hope this helps.
