9 students
30% ends up being .3%, multiply .3% by 30 students which equals 9.
1.) expand
3x - 15 - 5x = 25 + 6x
2.) simplify
-2x - 15 = 25 + 6x
3.) add 2x to both sides
-15 = 25 + 6x + 2x
4.) simplify
-15 = 25 + 8x
5.) subtract 25 from both sides
-15 - 25 = 8x
6.) simplify -15 - 25 to -40
-40 = 8x
7.) divide both sides by 8
-40/8 = x
8.) x = -5
We know that 1 lb = 16 oz
So lets convert the 20 lb to oz and then compare the two quantities in consistent units.
If 1 lb = 16 oz then 20 lb are equal to 20*16 oz, that is
20 lb = 20*16 oz = 320 oz
therefore,
320 oz are greater than 272 oz, or,
20 lb are greater that 272 oz
