When you see the subtraction<span> (</span>minus<span>) sign followed by a </span>negative<span> sign, turn the two signs into a plus sign. Thus, instead of </span>subtracting<span> a </span>negative<span>, you're adding a </span>positive<span>, so you have a simple addition problem.</span>
2/5 were sold in the morning. This is equal to 40% of the total. That leaves 60% leftover.
3/4 were sold in the afternoon. This is equal to 75% of the 60% leftover or 45% of the total (.6x.75).
The difference between the two sales is 24 cartons or 5% (45%-40%). If 5% is equal to 24 then you can cross multiply to see what is the equivalent number of cartons out of 100%.
5/100 = 24/x
5x = 24(100)
5x = 2400
x = 480
ANSWER: 480 cartons
Answer:
The answer is 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Yoh would get this because an dice has six sides. If two numbers are being offered, that's 2/6 , or 1/3 simplified.
Answer:
<u>x = 39</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's recall that the interior angles of a triangle always add up to 180 degrees.
Upon saying that, we have:
102 + 39 + x = 180
x = 180 - 102 - 39
x = 39
<u>The value of x is 39 degrees</u>
